highly honored products in all facets of the consumer technology
industry. Since 1989, the prestigious Innovations Design and
Engineering Awards have given consumer technology manufacturers and
developers an opportunity to have their newest products judged by a
preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, independent
engineers and members of the trade press. The panel of judges
evaluates products based on these weighted criteria: - User value -
Aesthetics - Contributions to the quality of life - Innovative
design and qualities The new MCP-100 DVR with DVD will support the
majority of writeable DVD recording formats for standard and high
definition content that will give consumers the ability to simply
and securely record their favorite shows and movies onto
"writeable" DVDs. The MCP-100 DVR with DVD will also play off-the-
shelf DVDs and CDs. In addition, the product is being designed to
respect key content protection flags including 'copy freely', 'copy
once', and 'copy never' tags. Scientific-Atlanta's DPC2223 voice
modem with DECT functionality will help enable consumers to expand
the use of cordless phone sets in the home to include accessing
Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony services. VoIP service, growing in
popularity around the world, is often bundled with video and high-
speed data to deliver a triple-play of services at an attractive
bundled price for consumers. The new MCP-100 DVR with DVD is
currently being tested in MSO labs and could enter beta testing
soon. The DPC2223 voice modem with DECT functionality may become
commercially available in the first half of calendar year 2006.
