• Allows the use of new (IP) video sources and destination platforms
  
• Uses standard DOCSIS® 1.1/2.0 cable modems at subscriber site
• Available, low-cost, standards-based
  
• Enables the use of commodity IP set top boxes
• Expands the available sources of hardware, codecs, conditional access, and middleware
  
• Compatible with existing headend infrastructure and services
• Supports a flexible migration path from MPEG-2 broadcast/narrowcast to IPTV multicast/unicast
• Combines VBR video and DOCSIS traffic in the same channel
