Let’s have a look at client capability for DX4700/4800.
The DX Series Client is what we previously referred to as the DX Common Client. There is a matrix of capabilities with this client – it performs a bit differently dependent on which head end, and so we’ve created a compatibility matrix that is part of the client manual. For easy access, we’ll also provide that on the Extranet.
This client provides full operational and administrative functions for the DX4700/4800 – for all others, with regards to operational limitations, refer to the matrix.
We should point out to customers that we provide the very useful Favorites function that we first saw in the DX8100 – and we realized what was a long wait we now can provide Windows 7 and Vista support to our DX8100 clients, again for operational use.
With regards to ControlPoint – almost every other DVR/HVR vendor provides a common client for mixed platforms. But don’t forget that our ControlPoint client not only offers connectivity between two distinct platforms – DX and DS – it is also part of our software only solution. And this is not a product offering that most other hardware vendors provide!
