Scientific-Atlanta Ships Next-Generation Advanced Explorer Set-Tops New Faster, Smaller, More Consumer-Friendly Explorer 2100 and 3100 Models Shipping to Cable Operators Photo available: http://www.scientificatlanta.com/photo.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.scientificatlanta.com/photo.htm ATLANTA, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Widening its position as a leader on the forefront of the interactive TV space, Scientific-Atlanta (NYSE: SFA - news) today announced it is building and shipping its new Explorer® 2100 and 3100 digital interactive set-tops, designed for improved performance with more consumer-friendly features and packaging. Like all digital Explorer set-tops, the new models, offer cable operators a distinct competitive advantage over other offerings in the market with their ability to operate on a single digital network without the need for upgrades. That compatibility advantage enables cable operators to deploy a variety of Explorer set-tops in a single system, based on individual subscriber demand for varying levels of interactive TV capabilities. Both the Explorer 2100 and 3100 set-tops offer enhanced features targeted to increase consumer demand for both digital set-tops and interactive TV applications by improving performance, quality, look and feel, and ease-of- use. New features include: * Superior applications and graphics performance with a faster 130Mhz processor and double the cache memory * Premium analog picture quality with an improved, next-generation digital decoder * New, more stylish design with a leading edge electronics look and feel; 25 percent smaller than existing set-tops on the market today * Re-designed, consumer-friendly front panel with an improved user layout and additional keys for easy access to the program guide, help information and set-top settings * Front panel USB port for convenient access to USB-enabled devices such as digital cameras and camcorders Both the Explorer 2100 and 3100 set-tops also incorporate improvements focused on reducing costs for the cable operator. These include: * Significantly improved reliability and product quality through increased electronics integration * Expanded capability for subscriber self installations driven by a four- fold improvement in staging performance * Integration of VCR commander electronics; eliminating the need for expensive and cumbersome external electronics * Improved, more practical, MSO-installed branding options that allow MSOs to create their own unique branding labels or badges at the divisions, eliminating the need for factory orders * Warranty extended to 3 years ``The Explorer 2100 and 3100 set-tops further widen the gap between Scientific-Atlanta`s high-performance, consumer-friendly digital set-tops that are delivering multiple interactive TV applications today and the other offerings in the market,`` says Michael P. Harney, Scientific-Atlanta`s corporate vice president and general manager of Digital Subscriber Networks. ``These new models are ahead of the competition and they`re being mass produced and shipped to customers today in response to the growing subscriber demand for digital interactive TV applications.`` About Scientific-Atlanta Scientific-Atlanta, Inc.
