Embedded
Automation Releases Two New Media Center PC's Optimized for Home Automation and
HDTV | mbedded Automation announced today that it has released two new
Media Center PC’s as part of their mHome product line, mTheater HD and mTheater
MC. Both mTheater models have been designed to fit nicely in the living room
alongside other home theater components, manage all forms of digital media in
the home, and are “home automation ready”.
mTheater HD and mTheater MC come in the same, sleek, A/V style case to give the
appearance of a conventional home theater component (e.g. DVD player, receiver).
However, on the inside mTheater is loaded with the latest technology for the
management of digital pictures, music, movies, and more. mTheater also provides
tremendous flexibility for how and when TV is enjoyed with the ability to pause
and record live TV, and easily set recording schedules so favourite shows will
never be missed.
Both mTheater models also ship “home automation ready” with Embedded
Automation’s leading home management software, mControl, and a starter kit for
lighting control 2. mControl manages whole house lighting,
security, IP camera, HVAC, and IR communication, in addition to a host of other
features for increased convenience and accessibility. For more detailed
information on mControl, its features and benefits please visit: http://www.embeddedautomation.com/EAHAmControl.htm.
mTheater HD has been optimized for HDTV. This is accomplished with Intel’s
latest chip design, the Pentium D (Dual Core processor), an over-the-air HD
tuner card, antenna, and 500GBs of hard disk space. Hard disk space is very
important for HDTV as it requires over 10GBs of space per hour of programming.
mTheater HD is also an Intel Viiv compatible device.
“HDTV awareness and enjoyment have increased significantly with the penetration
of HDTV-Ready displays and the increased availability of HDTV programming” says
Maury Lum, Sales and Marketing Manager for Embedded Automation. “Major cities
in the US
can have a number stations being broadcast over-the-air digitally, with an
increasing amount of the content in HD quality. This, in combination with the
advances in home automation technology and reductions in price was the impetus
for Embedded Automation to provide a single platform to service both needs”
says Lum.
