Netgear Announces ‘Digital Entertainer HD,’
"First Media Receiver with HDMI for Streaming HD Movies, YouTube Videos, iTunes Music and More from PCs, Storage Devices and the Internet to Home Entertainment Systems."
The sophisticated set-top digital media receiver enhances entertainment choices by offering an attractive, highly intuitive user interface and powerful search capability for high-definition televisions to display media files and Internet content streamed from Windows as well as Mac computers, network storage devices and USB media devices. NETGEAR is showcasing the Digital Entertainer HD at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The company is exhibiting in booth 36219 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center through January 11.
The Digital Entertainer HD automatically discovers HD movies, TV shows, music files, and personal photos on a home network, across multiple PCs, and organizes these into a single media library displayed on a TV without the need for media server software running on the computer. Using the included remote, consumers can search their entire media library by multiple criteria including title, actor, date, genre or thumbnail images (from photos, album art or DVD covers). A High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port displays video resolution up to 1080p on big-screen TVs and optical digital audio output (TOSLINK) transmits full digital surround sound to the consumers’ digital audio receiver.
The Digital Entertainer HD includes an on-screen TV wizard and PC installation software for simple setup. With the included Windows PC software, the Digital Entertainer HD enables users to listen to music from iTunes, view YouTube videos and access their PC desktop from their living room. When the PC has an optional TV tuner installed, consumers can schedule recordings and pause or rewind live broadcasts using the Digital Entertainer HD without the need for an additional DVR device.
