Colorado vNet Shipping its Vibe Video System
Low-cost video servers designed to help integrators get their "foot in the door" of server market.
Colorado vNet has officially launched its much-awaited low-cost Vibe Video System, which stores movies, music and photo collections on a server for instant access from any TV in the home.
The new system will be sold exclusively through Colorado vNet custom integrators.
In order to accommodate a variety of distributed installations and video libraries, it offers:
Consumers will also get a pre-paid lifetime subscription to the Macrovision All Media Guide (AMG) recognition service for DVD/CD metadata and cover art.
It complements the Vibe Audio System already on the market.
The VS1-100S and VS1-200S Vibe Server/Players archive approximately 100 and 200 DVDs (1 TB or 2 TB) respectively with RAID 1 backup, and play up to three unique streams simultaneously.
The storage capacity of a Server/Player can be extended by adding one or more Network Servers. The VN1-150, VN1-300, and VN1-600 Vibe Network Servers archive up to 600 DVDs (1 TB, 2 TB or 4 TB in RAID 5) for networked playback of up to 10 simultaneous streams.
Mike Malone, vice president of sales for Colorado vNet, says the product offers "our integrators a foot in the door with a simple solution."
The system is set to ship by mid-December.

VS1-100S $3,999
VS1-200S $4,999

I would say, Wyndle, you need to change your circles of friends. I can get a blue ray player, store my dvds, and later, on when I’m ready, add another one, seems pretty bad @$$. I’m not that comuter Savvy so all the people doing the same thing with pcs, limewire, and windows media, can continue to do their thing. I like this rig better. I could go into the advantgages of financial planning, but I won’t
Colorado vNet systems are lower priced than it’s competitors…by far. It’s not meant to be a player only…but a video server. Plus, there are some features coming down the road that really differentiates it from other products.
There’s a new forum site just for vNet products.
