/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NCTA/April 9-11, 2006, Georgia World
Congress Center, Booth #2251 -- The digital universe is expanding,
and in today's "Connected Life," consumers expect entertainment,
information and communication when they want it, how they want it,
and even where they want it. At The 2006 National Show, Scientific
Atlanta (NYSE:SFA), a Cisco company, will showcase how its
progressive technology will enable cable operators to support
converged video, voice and data ("triple-play") services for a
seamless consumer experience. Scientific Atlanta will highlight
upcoming opportunities for cable providers, from managing set-top
digital video recorder (DVR) settings via a mobile phone or laptop,
to streaming stored music, photos, videos and games from a personal
computer (PC) to a DVR set-top for television listening, viewing
and playing. Additionally, show- goers will see Scientific
Atlanta's latest DVR set-top with built-in digital video disc (DVD)
recorder/player, Multi-Room(TM) DVR set-top, Next Generation
Network Architecture Solutions and high-speed data, voice and
wireless gateways, just to name a few. Booth Demonstrations
Include: - The Connected Home - Innovative concepts for video,
voice, data and wireless services converged for a seamless consumer
experience. - Streaming Content, Plus Storage Devices - In this
concept demonstration, consumers will be able to stream content via
wireless gateway from their home PC or networked storage device to
their Scientific Atlanta DVR set-top with DVD to play on their
television (TV) and home entertainment center. - Internet Set-top
DVR Scheduling - Consumers will be able to schedule DVR set-top
recordings from their PC in this concept demonstration. -

DVR set-top, consumers can seamlessly access and view programs
stored on their DVR set-top, in multiple rooms of the home, giving
cable operators a new tier of DVR service. - Wireless Services of
the Future - Innovative concepts demonstrating easy consumer access
to multiple forms of content, on multiple devices, inside and
outside the home. - DVR Set-Top with built-in DVD Recorder/Player,
Model MCP-100(TM) - Cable operators can launch the next level of
DVR service with great in home features and an exciting new
mobility option. Boasting a dual tuner high-definition (HD)-DVR,
this advanced DVR set-top burns programs stored on the hard drive
onto a DVD, allowing consumers to archive their favorite shows
and/or watch some of their favorite programs when they're away from
home - extending the cable operator's brand beyond the home. Winner

show how cable operators could one day enable consumers to purchase
content (videos, soundtracks, games, etc.) through an on-demand
portal and record the content to disc through the DVR set-top's
built-in DVD recorder for later playback. When available, this
technology will assist cable operators in satisfying the "on
demand" and "mobility" impulses of their customers, and content
owners will enjoy a new distribution avenue for popular and niche
content. - Next Generation Network Architecture - NGNA initiatives
give cable operators a rock-solid foundation for applications on
the digital horizon. Demonstrations include: Switched Digital
Video, Downloadable Conditional Access in the CableNET booth, and

applications for differentiated future voice services like CallerID
and voice mail on TV. - Bandwidth Enhancing Technologies - Enabling
