"One of the best wireless media servers"
Pros: Hi-Def Support, Easy to use, No need for MC2005, Great Server
Cons: Requires its JAVA program (on CD incl.)
Summary: Here is the word, it is one of the best wireless audio/video servers on the market. Has all the outputs - Component, DVI, Optical Audio (for high end audio/video). The video output is configurable between 480i, 480p, 720p & 1080i.
It also has regular audio/video if you don't have a hi-def TV.
Best, unlike other media servers - it does not need Media Center 2005. It runs on any Windows operating system. Just drop in audio, pic or video file in the folder and the server will play!
I was skeptical regarding the claim of smooth video play back. I purchased this server with expectation of a maximum to stream audio files in my living room.
I was surprised, it plays video files (avi, divx, mpeg1 etc.) with no issue whatsoever with wireless's connectivity (a b/g card is included with the server).
Moreover it is cheaper than most servers available (HP, DLink etc.)
Also these servers need MC2005, I don't have a MC2005 and hence cannot use these.
WORD OF CAUTION
===============
It did take me a day to figure out why this server would not connect to the machine. Make sure you delete any Java on your machine. Then install the program CD with Java included with the server. It works like charm!
