Where it states “With both the industry standard connectivity (RS-232) and IP”, is that a misprint that should read “IR” as in infrared, or is it IP enabled? I don’t see an ethernet jack, so I would assume that means it’s either WiFi or it’s actually meant to read “IR”. Either way, it’ll be nice to see the GUI itself hopefully sharpened up a bit (compared to the SVideo output on the Pro) via the HDMI output.

Or maybe that is an ethernet port on the far left?
