Media Announces Patent-Pending Network Virtualization Technology for the Niveus
Disc Changer | Niveus Media, Inc., manufacturer of media entertainment
devices for the high-end audio/video market, has announced the development of
network virtualization technology for the Niveus Disc Changer – Ice Vault 200.
The latest of Niveus proprietary add-ons to the Windows XP Media Center
Platform, Niveus virtualization technology allows single, or multiple, Niveus
Disc Changers to serve up an entire collection of DVD Movies to any zone on the
home network powered by a Niveus
Media Center.
The new technology developed by Niveus is comprised of
virtualization software that allows the Niveus Disc Changer(s) to appear as a
network storage device to every media center on the home network. Contents of
the DVD movie are transferred, CSS intact, to the particular zone media center
where the movie is decoded using the “My DVDs” feature. No copying, or
duplication of the DVD takes place; the movie is played from the actual DVD
disc. Since no recompression, transcoding, or additional DRM is applied, Niveus
virtualization technology maintains the full quality and integrity of the
original DVD movie for playback on any ISF-certified Niveus
Media Center.
“Consumers demand to access all their digital media from any
zone in the home continues to rise. The ability to play back your favorite DVD
movies from a central digital library is a natural extension to the Niveus Media
Center,” said Tim
Cutting, CEO of Niveus Media. “We’re pleased to announce this latest technology
resulting from our continued R&D investments in the Microsoft Media Center
platform.”
Niveus Media will be demonstrating this new technology to a
select group of invite-only attendees at the 2006 International Consumer
Electronic Show this week in Las Vegas
from January 5 – 8. More information on licensing, additional hardware
requirements, and availability of this technology will be available via the
Niveus Media website early this year. www.niveusmedia.com
