Data Sheet

Cisco Explorer 8640HDC DVR with M-Card Interface
The Cisco® Explorer™ 8640HDC DVR with Multi-Stream CableCARD™ (M-Card™)
interface provides high quality video, audio, DVR, and two-way capabilities that cable
operators have come to expect. The platform provides faster processing of applications
while also supporting bandwidth management objectives.
The 8640HDC becomes the multimedia service gateway for the home – sharing and managing
video and audio experiences between the television and other home network devices.

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)

Data Sheet

●

DAVIC Receiver/Transmitter allows IP-based, real-time, two-way communication between
the set-top and the service provider network for services such as on-demand (optional
software)

●

ENERGY STAR® Tier 1 qualified set-top box must meet strict energy-efficiency guidelines
set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Energy
(DOE), see Note 4

DVR and Home Networking Features
●

Dual-tuner DVR allows one program to be recorded while viewing or recording another

●

160 GB Internal Hard Drive stores up to 90 hours of SD or 20 hours of HD programs

●

320 GB Internal Hard Drive (optional) stores up to 180 hours of SD or 40 hours of HD
programs

●

Personal media player enables display of photos and playback of video and audio from
standards based home network connected devices (optional software)

●

Ethernet Connection enables a connection to the home IP LAN for advanced services such
as content sharing to the set-top from retail-purchased electronic devices

●

Digital Transmission Content Protection over IP (DTCP-IP) provides encrypted content
protection, such as “copy-one-generation” or “copy-never" based upon content's copy
control information (CCI), when output through an IP connection to an authenticated device

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.
