Las Vegas, NV – CES
2008 – January 7-10 – The Venetian Suites – Niveus Media, the leader in
high-end digital entertainment for the connected home, is pleased to announce
that the Niveus Media Extender – EDGE is now available. A hardware device that
gives users the ability to enjoy the Niveus Media Center experience throughout
the whole home, EDGE has become the first Windows Media Center Extender to
receive the prestigious Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) Video Quality
Certification.
By connecting the Niveus Media Extender to any TV throughout
the home, users are granted access to live and recorded TV, digital photos,
digital music, home video, and exclusive online multi-media content, including
downloadable music and local weather – all accessed through and stored on the
Niveus Media Server. The Niveus Media Extender offers users a full fidelity
experience, uncompromised 1080p video, digital audio, and the same amazing 3D
user interface found on the award-winning Niveus Media Center.
In addition to the intuitive on-screen experience, the
Niveus Media Extender features the proprietary Niveus Glacier™ Passive Cooling
system for cool and quiet performance and a sleek and stylish A/V form-factor,
designed to blend seamlessly into any zone of the home and flexible enough to
be installed into a rack-mount solution application.
“We’re excited to formally introduce the Niveus Media
Extender – EDGE,”states Tim Cutting, CEO, Niveus Media. “EDGE represents the
final building block of the Niveus Entertainment Experience, a complete
end-to-end server/client product architecture that allows high definition
entertainment to be accessed from any room of the house. No other vendor can
offer this complete solution based on the Microsoft Media Center platform.
This, along with our recent ISF certification of EDGE, is a huge advantage over
competing solutions.”
Through the introductions of EDGE, Niveus now offers a
supremely sophisticated Media Center eco-system, properly dubbed The Niveus
Entertainment Experience. Niveus Media’s whole-home entertainment system
enables independent content control which makes it possible for a person in a
Niveus Media Extender zone to access one digital entertainment feature while
someone at the Media Server or separate Extender zone accesses another. Niveus
currently offers Extender support for up to five zones.
Niveus Media’s 2008 line of Windows Vista Ultimate-based
media centers including the Summit Series Rainier and Denali Editions, and Pro
Series n4, n7 and n9, are capable of storing, managing, and playing TV, music,
movies, and photos while offering the highest level of media center
performance.
