Pace Micro Technology said this week it has integrated its new Tahoe and Vegas set tops with C-COR’s Video on Demand servers and back office management systems.
Pace says that its system can now work with all the three major cable VOD vendors in the US, C-COR, Concurrent, and SeaChange International.
This is yet another key step in Pace’s attempt to take its business into the US market from its native UK beginnings.
Pace Micro Technology Americas’ Manager-Program Deployments Jason Hill commented, “Integrating with three of the four major VOD vendors is important, so cable operators know that our set-top boxes work seamlessly with any or all of the VOD vendors they choose. We have previously ported VOD and EPG applications on other Pace boxes in our family of products, and now we are on track to have the final VOD port on our newest boxes completed in late Q2 – 2007. All of the current VOD and EPG ports will also carry across to our line of CableCARD host boxes, thanks to the Pace EngineWare common platform software stack.” Pace claims that Tahoe box is the first HD DVR which is OCAP-compliant.
