UK set top company Pace Micro Technology says that it has introduced a new family of CableCard products, including CableCard versions of its Tahoe HD DVR and Vegas SD DVR, as well as its newest CableCard set-top box, the Miami HD.
Pace introduced these boxes at the CableLabs’ Winter Conference 2007, in Denver, Colorado. CableCard devices are slim card shaped set tops, that can slide into a TV set and usually deliver the set top function separately from the Conditional Access system.
Pace’s new Miami set-top can be deployed as a standalone non-DVR product, or subscribers can add DVR capability through the external Serial-ATA hard disk drive port. Pace says that its Tahoe DVR is the most advanced DVR in the US with a dual-tuner, an internal DOCSIS 2.0 modem and one of the fastest implementations for running OCAP applications.
