Digital Me: New Motorola All-Digital Set-Tops Enable the Follow Me TV Experience in the Connected Home

New Additions to Set-Top Product Line Underscore the Motorola Commitment to All-Digital Broadcasting

ATLANTA, April 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today expanded its all-digital cable set-top portfolio by introducing the Motorola DCT3080, a standard-definition, dual-tuner digital video recorder (DVR), and the Motorola DCC100, a slim, small-footprint set-top with built-in Follow Me TV media networking capabilities.

As the world's leading provider of digital video solutions to the cable industry, Motorola is committed to all-digital broadcasting and the benefits it provides for both service providers and consumers. The Motorola DCT3080 and the Motorola DCC100 are both high-performance and cost-effective. Designed for the all-digital age, these set-tops will empower operators to expand their advanced service offerings and create a foundation for multimedia connectivity in the home.

These innovations will be showcased during The 2006 National Show (Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta) where Motorola is exhibiting at Stand #1537.

The new Motorola DCT3080 all-digital, standard-definition digital video recorder offers consumers a compelling reason to move to all-digital services and provides a new option for service providers looking to meet the demands of All-Digital Simulcast (ADS). Like its sister Motorola DVR set-tops, the DCT3080 can act as a hub for a whole-home media network -- moving content such as recorded shows, photos, or music to other devices in the home.

The new Motorola Digital Cable Client (DCC) 100 set-top enables the Motorola Follow Me TV experience on additional screens in the home by linking to a Motorola DVR through existing in-home coaxial cable. Slightly bigger than a paperback book, the product can bring all-digital programming, interactive applications and the convenience of whole-home DVR through a simple "one-wire" connection.

"These new set-tops offer compelling features like Follow Me TV and digital video recording that can drive the adoption of all-digital services," said John Burke, Motorola corporate vice president and general manager, digital video solutions. "The addition of these two products to our robust all-digital portfolio demonstrates Motorola's commitment to providing cable operators with a full suite of solutions that can simplify the transition to all-digital broadcasting."

Motorola's all-digital set-top product portfolio supports a variety of different features designed to ease the transition to all-digital networks. The platform is capable of "down-converting" high-definition programming to be viewed on a screen that can only display standard-definition content. Additionally, the platform supports OCAP, and a "proxied" DOCSIS(R) set-top gateway (DSG) feature that can simplify an operator's ability to administer multiple set-tops through a single cable modem.
