Simultaneously distributes audio to five zones and has optional Blu-ray burner.
10.10.2008 — Velocity Micro has launched the CineMagix FuzeBox Home Media Server.
Velocity Micro
signed an OEM deal with Fuze Media Systems in July, saying it would build and sell Fuze Media's Windows Media Center-based entertainment solutions.
It's part of Fuze's effort to
OEM its core technology to other manufacturers, enabling the software to be installed on other multimedia devices.
The CineMagix FuzeBox, which will be directly configured by Velocity Micro, features CableCARD support to watch and record digital content without a settop box or DVR. It uses the home's network to simultaneously distribute audio to up to five different zones.
The HTPC, which has an optional Blu-ray burner, can back up and distribute DVD and Blu-ray. The Blu-ray support is included in all Fuze systems, resulting from its
partnership with ArcSoft.
Other features:
- Core 2 Duo processor
- 4GB of DDR2 RAM
- Storage space of 750GB — enough for 100 movies and 4,000 songs
- Gigabit Ethernet
It also has a locked graphical interface, meaning its highly unlikely the client can break or disable something, according to the companies.
MSRP: $1,995
