BigBand Networks (News - Alert) has revealed it will bring Switched Digital Video to Digeo's Moxi HD-DVR platform.

 

As per the plan, Digeo's Moxi High Definition Digital Video Recorder (HD-DVR) will be integrated with BigBand's switched digital video (SDV) solution. This interoperability will enable consumers to conveniently enjoy more HDTV and niche programming than ever before.

 

"We're pleased to add BigBand's outstanding SDV solution to our Moxi HD platform," said Greg Gudorf, chief executive officer for Digeo.

 

"This will dramatically increase the amount of HD content that can be delivered to cable subscribers while enabling them to discover experience and share high def entertainment,” added Gudorf.

 

Digeo creates state-of-the-art home entertainment technologies, including digital media recorder (DMR) platforms and services. The company's mission is to enable the best consumer experience in high-definition entertainment for the connected home.

 

Digeo's flagship product, the two-time Emmy Award-winning Moxi Media Center, serves as a hub for whole-home distribution of digital entertainment and more than 400,000 units have been shipped to more than 100 markets by eight cable operators nationwide.

 

The company also licenses its technology to third-party companies as the user interface, application or customer connection portal to drive their products or services.

 

BigBand's SDV solution will be deployed in conjunction with Digeo's latest Moxi HD-DVR cable box. The Moxi HD-DVR is the newest product to feature the Moxi user interface, which can now offer cable subscribers nearly twice the storage capacity of previous units.

 

"We're delighted to integrate our SDV solution with Digeo's award-winning Moxi platform," said David Heard, BigBand's chief operating officer. "This partnership is another way for service providers to meet consumers' insatiable demand for more HD content."
