Milpitas, CA – October 5, 2007 – Niveus Media, the leaders in ultimate entertainment solutions for the connected home, announces that Niveus Media Center Companion™ 3.0 (Beta) is now available for public download. Allowing installers to integrate control abilities for Media Center content to any Windows-based UMPC, laptop, desktop, or Tablet PC, Niveus Media Center Companion software is the ultimate networked remote control for all Vista-based Media Centers & Media Center Extenders.
Intuitive and powerful, the Niveus Media Center Companion software downloads the entire media database of music, photos, television shows and more, displaying rich cover art and metadata on the Windows Client. The entire Media Center music catalogue can be viewed and accessed via the Windows Client, allowing users to navigate, pick, and play their favorite songs and albums without ever powering on the display.
Boasting support for an unlimited number of zones, with the touch of a button, Niveus Media Center Companion easily discovers the networked Windows Media Center system. After discovery, Niveus Media Center Companion is directly connected to the Media Center eco-system, enabling a multitude of remote control functions from anywhere within range of the wired or wireless network.
Niveus Media Center Companion uses the new Niveus Control Server, a middleware software component designed to provide the necessary bi-directional feedback to develop metadata rich control templates for premier Windows Client devices. Unlike traditional remote controls, the Niveus Media Center Companion supports easy Internet updates, yielding new features and functions throughout the life of the product.
