Dotcast technology allows cable service providers in the US and around the globe to offer all-digital services today, without having to turn off analog channels. This enables cable companies to cost-effectively leverage their existing infrastructure and meet the skyrocketing demand for DTV and HDTV services.

Our technology allows system operators to broadcast both analog and digital programming simultaneously – without requiring a costly build-out for additional bandwidth and without sacrificing current analog service or changing channel line-ups. This also allows cable operators to accelerate their migration to lower cost, all-digital set-top boxes.

This means…

	»	Lower set-top box capital investment
	»	Improved customer satisfaction and retention
	»	Digital tier market advantage
	»	More efficient use of your bandwidth asset
	»	Easy implementation with proven results
	»	Ability to meet competitive pressures
	»	Cost effective leverage of existing cable infrastructure

Meeting the Demand for Channel Capacity

Cable operators are challenged to find the extra channels needed to simultaneously carry analog channels in digital form.

Operators face a ‘capacity crunch’ during a transition to all-digital services because of the need to simulcast analog channels in the digital tier to support low-cost receivers that support only digital. Dotcast helps conquer the crunch.
