Pace Platform Ensures Operators are Ready for OCAP Transition
Boca Raton, FL -- Pace Micro Technology, a leading digital set-top
box provider specializing in the development of emerging
technologies across all television platforms, today announced it has
developed a DVR based upon CableLabs' OpenCable™ Applications
Platform (OCAP™) Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Spec 0C-SP-OCAP-I02,
which will be demonstrated at the upcoming Society of Cable
Television Engineers (SCTE) Cable-Tec Expo in Denver, June 21-23, at
Exhibit #1372.
The OCAP DVR specification will be used in all current and future
OCAP DVR set-top boxes from Pace, starting with the Pace flagship
dual-tuner, high-definition Tahoe TDC775 HD-DVR. |

Pace has partnered with Alticast, who is a global leader in OCAP
with the world's first OCAP deployment in Korea. This partnership
has spawned a co-development effort in which Pace has integrated
Alticast's OCAP middleware solution, AltiCaptor OCAP 1.0, into the
Pace cable set-top box product line.
Over the past several months, Pace has participated in numerous
CableLabs' multi-vendor interoperability testing events, including
one this month during which Pace brought its products to test with
DVR-enabled EPGs, DOCSIS® 2.0 Advanced DSG signalling, and numerous
other OCAP applications that are under development.
Pace Americas' Vice President of Technology Chris Dinallo commented,
"Pace and Alticast have tracked the CableLabs' specifications to a
'T' by implementing all the specifications and engineering change
notices (ECNs) to date, which marks a major milestone. In addition,
we uniquely designed our OCAP platform to function on different
head-end configurations, and in a manner that saves MSOs capital
expense, time, and risk."
"We are on track to have a leading high-definition DVR OCAP-based
platform ready for operators to make the transition to OCAP," he
added.
