The NCTA
Cable Show kicks off today, and
Pace Micro Technology is ready with a line of MPEG-4 capable set-top boxes aimed at provers in North and South America. Besides handling advanced compression technologies with ease, they'll handle all that switched digital video (
SDV), all-digital network, DOCSIS channel bonding and
tru2way support the kids are so into these days. Two way messaging (for updating ones Facebook status/Twitter/
Plaxo) is also in the bag, oplus backwards compatibility with older networks. Pictured is the "Aspen" box, a dual-tuner DVR CableCARD host box, but expect Apache (HD, no DVR) and Denali (SD only, no DVR) flavors to also be tucked securely in a cable guy's truck near you when they launch later this year.
