Annapolis, Maryland, August 30, 2007 – Xperinet, Inc. announced today the introduction of a small form-factor media player. The device, designated MIRV Tarpon, packs a powerful video decoding system into a 9"x5" x1" chassis that can be mounted behind a plasma display. The Tarpon decodes a broad array of video formats found on download services and Blu-ray in 1080p resolution, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, DIVX, and WMV-HD, bringing stunning resolution and color to every room in the house.

In yet another first for the Custom Install Industry, Xperinet Tarpon represents a monumental advancement in the evolution of Media Servers. Its small, fanless design makes it perfect for bedrooms or other locations where equipment noise and visibility cannot be tolerated. And installation is made simple by connecting HDMI to the display for integrated HD video and digital sound. From there a simple Cat-5e connection to an Ethernet switch makes it ready to serve up video and music from a MIRV server. A direct IR jack is provided…

Inteset, LLC is now offering an optional Blu-ray HD-DVD combo drive in its Maximus and Denzel media server systems. The Media Centers can play back both Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs in full 1080p resolution from a single drive.

“It’s been a long time coming,” says David Hirsh, Inteset’s Director of Business Development. “Users now have no limitations for movie playback. DVDs, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, it doesn’t matter. Our media servers handle all of these formats."

Blu-ray and HD-DVD playback is facilitated through CyberLink’s PowerDVD Ultra software. All high definition 7.1 surround sound formats are supported without the need of a separate receiver or pre-processor, including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS audio.
