ARRIS said its Keystone D5 Digital Multimedia Termination System (DMTS) has been demonstrated to be fully interoperable with SeaChange International’s VOD System.
The testing anticipates and is preparatory for the advent of DOCSIS 3.0 and associated modular CMTS (M-CMTS) technology, which will make it easy for cable operators to use their DOCSIS networks not only for data and voice, but also for switched digital video services, including video-on-demand.
The D5 DMTS is able to support digital video EdgeQAM delivery today. Migrating to M-CMTS/DOCSIS 3.0 and to switched digital video applications would require only a software upgrade, according to ARRIS.
