At the heart of the Solutions MediaBox is the etBIOS entertainment
module. Running
independently from the operating system, the easy-to-use etBIOS menu
displays a few
seconds after powering on the MediaBox and can be used to play DVDs
and VCDs, or
listen to Audio CDs and MP3 CDs. As befitting a DVD player, the
MediaBox includes a
40-button remote control with a trackball for navigating menus,
adjusting audio, and
exercising complete control of the MediaBox from a relaxed position.
When integrating an entertainment center with a computer, the most
important feature
is convenience. Nobody wants to wait for an operating system to
boot-up before listening
to music or watching a movie, and users wouldˇ¦nt even consider buying
such a device
without it offering the freedom of a remote control.
To complement the video and audio convenience, the MediaBox also
features a full
stereo sub-system with an integrated 20-watt amplifier, a 25-watt sub-woofer,
and two 360˘X
satellite speakers.
Adding bonus to value, the MediaBox boasts a sleek dynamic outlook.
Unlike
unimaginative
PCs that are better left hidden under a table, the MediaBox comes in a
stylish aluminum
housing with an innovative sliding front panel and
backlit LCD. The LCD serves both as an
alarm clock and a display for
PC Health and status animations. Users can customize the
front-side
LCD by choosing among six backlight colors and downloading custom
animations.
The MediaBox is also a fully functional PC, complete with Microsoft
Windows XP Home
Edition and a multimedia software bundle including WinDVD, digital
photo management,
and audio ripping software. For easy high-speed connectivity to other
digital devices such
as digital cameras, MP3 players, and camcorders, the MediaBox features
front-end
ports including two USB 2.0 ports, two IEEE 1394 ports, and line out.
The MediaBox also
supports TV and digital out, SPDIF, and integrated
LAN
