SANTA CLARA, USA: Trident Microsystems Inc. has announced that its cable set-top box (STB) chipset, the CX24482, is the industry’s first solution to offer universal Digital Transport Adapter (uDTA) support, which is required in Comcast’s next generation of digital transport adapters.
By utilizing the industry-first uDTA solution from Trident, Comcast will be able to advance the deployment of analog-to-digital converter boxes across its footprint while providing universal support for multiple security systems and encryption of digital content.
“Comcast is very excited to be leading the charge in offering universal DTA technology to our customers as we continue transitioning from analog to digital television broadcasting,” said Steve Reynolds, Senior Vice President of Customer Premise Equipment at Comcast Cable.
“These universal adapters take advantage of Trident’s uDTA chipset to allow Comcast to reclaim the bandwidth needed to provide digital services into millions of homes across our entire network infrastructure.”
Mark Samuel, vice president and general manager, set-top box business unit for Trident, said: “Trident is committed to continually offering cable service providers and operators with the most advanced and secure technologies that allow them to bring more services and features into homes.
"We are pleased to see our uDTA solution being deployed in volume today by Comcast and helping to create bandwidth for the next generation of digital entertainment in the home. We look forward to working with our partners to enable this powerful new technology across the entire cable industry.”
