09.01.2008 — Sunfire is debuting its Theater Grand Media Server (TGM-100) at CEDIA Expo 2008.

The media server comes with storage options between 1TB and 6TB and upconverts existing DVD libraries to "near-HD 1080p quality."

The TGM-100 is scalable to seven rooms and can store up to 1,800 movies. It offers RAID 6 protection on its TGM-HD3 (3TB storage) and TGM-HD6 (6TB) hard drives.

The TGM-HD1 hard drive offers 1TB of storage and RAID 0 protection for single redundancy backup for smaller libraries.

Both the 3TB and 6TB systems feature remote diagnostics to warn the user and dealer on system conditions.

Information such as artist, album, genre and cover art are automatically downloaded to the server with Gracenote online metadata, which also helps out sorting through content.

The TGM-100 also features XiVALink protocol via IP, RS-232 and IR.

Sunfire will be displaying the TGM-100 at its booth (610) at CEDIA Expo 2008. The TGM-100 ($10,000) and hard drives will ship in Q4.
