Data Sheet

Cisco Explorer 9800 Multi-Screen Gateway Series

The Cisco®Explorer®9800 Multi-Screen Gateway Series provides a Videoscape-

Ready solution designed to expand the entertainment experience in existing QAM

networks, including viewing and distributing multiple live, on-demand, online, and

recorded video content services to other QAM, IP or IP/QAM hybrid managed

devices.

The 9800 Multi-Screen Gateway Series provides a powerful, flexible platform that enables customers to capitalize

on existing infrastructure while providing the capability of supporting a migration to IP Video and the full

Videoscape experience.

The 9800 Multi-Screen Gateway Series provides a no-regrets flexible hybrid front end capable of supporting up to

6 QAM video streams and an 8x4 DOCSIS®3.0 IP video pipeline, allowing it to function in current and future HFC

architectures*.

The home networking capabilities of the 9800 Multi-Screen Gateway Series are further enhanced by a dual stream

HD transcoder*. When paired with a Cisco DOCSIS 3.0 residential gateway and Cisco soft clients, the 9800 Multi-

Screen Gateway Series can distribute transcoded content (live, on-demand, online, or recorded) to unmanaged

CE devices using the appropriate format and resolution.

The 9800 Multi-Screen Gateway Series supports Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA™), Digital Living Network

Alliance (DLNA®) technology, Digital Transmission Content Protection over IP (DTCP-IP), and Digital Rights

Management (DRM)* to deliver multimedia content securely to IP devices in the home.

*Optional software required
