Networked Entertainment by Prismiq

I’m back on my Media PC kick. I just know that Media PCs will be all the rave in the next few years. Here is a product that will bring entertainment from your PC to you TV or stereo system. Enter Prismiq!

The PRISMIQ MediaPlayer offers consumers a multitude of home entertainment options, with just a few clicks of the remote control:

• Present DVD-quality video in MPEG-1/2/4 or DivX format
• Play Surround Sound and CD-quality audio
• Stream a personal library of PC-stored MP3, and WAV audio files
• Play Internet radio on the stereo
• Display digital photos on the TV
• Browse the web on the TV
• Display live, personalized news and information on the TV
• Instant Message with friends and family on the TV

This is a very impressive piece of technology but it is still new and there is room for improvement. For one, the unit cannot send a DVD movie from your PC to your TV, due to DVD encryption. Something like this will need to be solved. There are other areas that seem limited, read the FAQS to get the complete picture.
