Features  
Network Utilization Enhancements  
1 GHz Tuning allows service providers to expand network bandwidth to provide additional  
services such as HD and VOD, VoIP video, and high speed data  
MPEG-4 (H.264) Decoding supports compression technology that provides better video  
quality at about half the data rate of MPEG-2  
DOCSIS® 2.0 provides increased upstream throughput for future advanced services and  
provides a path for future IP video services (optional software)  
Digital-Only Tuning enables service providers to improve bandwidth efficiency and accelerate  
the transition to an all-digital network by migrating analog subscribers to digital services  
tru2way™ and Conventional Network Support  
M-Card Interface uses a Multi-Stream CableCARD for separable security  
Axiom™ DVR Middleware supports OpenCable™ tru2way (formerly OCAP™) applications  
such as Service Navigators, Games, and many other future applications (optional software)  
DOCSIS Set-top Gateway (DSG) provides a powerful standard transport mechanism for  
command and control signaling between the set-top and service provider network (optional  
software)  
SARA DVR Software on a set-top provides native navigator and user interface in a  
non-tru2way environment (optional software)

Notes:  
1. 1080p/24 or 1080p/30 output formats are available on HDMI, if those formats are presented to  
the set-top box at its input. Incoming video formats will not be converted to either of these for  
output. Output of these formats is under software control.  
2. Axiom DVR Middleware for tru2way (formerly OCAP) support is recommended only for the  
8600 models that have a minimum of 384 MB RAM.  
3. Boot Partition provides space on the hard drive for storing the set-top’s core software.  
Additional non-core application storage space may be made available on the hard drive. The  
Boot Partition is analogous to a portion of the role traditional flash memory serves on non-hard  
drive set-tops.  
4. In order to use the ENERGY STAR name or marks in association with this product deployed to  
subscribers, service providers must first sign a Partnership Agreement with EPA and abide by  
all of the conditions set forth in the ENERGY STAR Program Requirements for Cable, Satellite,  
and Telecom Service Providers. ENERGY STAR is a registered mark owned by the U.S.  
government and its use is reserved for partners. Service providers that have not signed an  
ENERGY STAR Partnership Agreement are not to distribute boxes labeled with the  
ENERGY STAR.
