ReQuest’s Intelligent Media Client to Hit CEDIA Expo 2008

ReQuest is going to launch its Intelligent Media Client (IMC) at CEDIA Expo 2008, the company announced today.

The IMC is a network device designed to be used in multiroom installation, providing local DVD playback and streaming of online content.

Features include:

• Upscaled content to 1080p
• Gigabit Ethernet networking functionality
• IR remote capability

Movies can be played locally or archived on an iQ or F-Series media server, the company says.

"When combined with ReQuest servers, the IMC delivers a complete entertainment ecosystem that includes multiroom music, videos, photos, and Web-based widgets such as weather, stocks, and web-cams," says Peter Cholnoky, CEO of ReQuest.

"The expandable platform empowers home owners to enjoy their CD and DVD content as well as leverage the expanding online services for streaming and downloadable content."

ReQuest says they plan to add NAS options in the fourth quarter for storage expansion.
