– A leading designer and manufacturer of digital entertainment
solutions based on the Windows Media Center platform, Niveus
Media announces the implementation of a CableCARD program
for the company’s Niveus Media Centers. Allowing existing
customers the opportunity to augment the company’s
preceding models, all Niveus products will be able to offer
the latest Windows Vista operating system with CableCARD
capabilities.
Concurrent with Window’s anticipated January 30, 2007
launch of Vista, along with Niveus' continued commitment
to offer the latest in hardware and software, Niveus proudly
encourages customers to embrace CableCARD technology within
the Windows Media Center application. With unprecedented
functionality, CableCARD allows users to view and record
premium high definition digital content without the use
of a set-top box, leveraging powerful DVR functionality
including a robust electronic program guide.
“Niveus has been fortunate to showcase CableCARD capabilities
and applications on our award-winning media centers, receiving
overwhelming feedback on its benefits in this category.
By extending this promotion to all of our customers, we
hope to maintain our growing reputation as a forward-thinking
provider of the digital entertainment experience,”
states Tim Cutting, CEO and co-founder of Niveus Media.
With the convergence of computing and audio/video constantly
evolving, Niveus Media has provided investment protection
for its high-performance media centers in its unique chassis
and upgrade programs. As Windows Vista supports OCUR (Open
Cable Uni-directional Receiver), Niveus provides a seamless
process; CableCARD can be easily inserted into an OCUR receiver.
Niveus will be amongst the first to provide a Windows-based
system capturing advanced content and capabilities by enabling
users to retain the interactive EPG (electronic program
guide), while also allowing them to view and record HD digital
cable content that is stored and accessed on a Windows Vista-based
Media Center system.
In
addition to offering a CableCARD program for existing customers
at the Windows Vista launch, Niveus also plans to ship all
new CableCARD-enabled systems at that time.
Niveus
Media will be demonstrating their Windows Vista-based products
at this week’s Electronic House Expo (EHX) in Long
Beach, CA. For more information on Niveus Media, Inc., or
