The Cisco® 4682DVB MPEG-4 High-Definition (HD) Set-Top offers subscribers the latest enhancements in cable television viewing. This set-top incorporates MPEG-4 Part 10/H.264 SD/HD technology and features robust interactive technology using the DOCSIS® 2.0+ compliant cable modem. The 4682DVB provides consumers a rich home entertainment experience with HD picture clarity, the movie theatre experience of surround sound, and the convenience of on-demand services such as Video on Demand. With two video tuners and a rear panel USB port, the set-top allows an external USB hard drive to be connected to provide DVR (Digital Video Recorder) services.
The 4682DVB is compliant with DVB-C standards, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 standards, supports PAL-M and NTSC video formats, and is designed in compliance with the required safety, emissions, and immunity specifications (as per the mandatory laws that may be applicable to Cisco). With its smartcard reader, the set-top is built to support renewable security.
