Technicolor Sells 10M DTAs To Comcast, Other Operators
Low-Cost Devices Allow MSOs to Move to All-Digital TV

Technicolor announced that it sold 10 million digital transport adapters -- low-cost, one-way devices designed to deliver digital cable TV to analog television sets -- to North American cable operators, including Comcast.
Technicolor's DTA is a one-way set-top-box that lets cable operators eliminate their analog TV lineups, freeing up space for new services such as HD, video-on-demand and high-speed Internet. Standard-definition versions of DTAs were launched in early 2009 in the U.S.
Comcast, for one, is planning to deploy HD versions of DTAs as well and expects to cut over to all-digital TV across its footprint by the end of 2012. The operator also sources DTAs from Cisco Systems, Motorola Mobility and Pace.
Technicolor said tier 1 and tier 2 cable operators have deployed its DTAs.
