The
"Niveus" Difference
Nothing
held back...
Niveus Media builds and designs its systems from the
ground up to surpass anything available on the market.
First
to market...
The
"Rainier Edition" is
the first commercially available living room media
center to incorporate next generation HD DVD technology.
Supporting the playback of true 1080p high definition
DVDs, the Rainier has stunning picture and smooth,
flawless video performance. HD DVD is an optional
upgrade to the Rainier Edition.
High
Performance...
Built on Intel's new Core 2 Duo Processor,
and 945 Chipset, the Rainier overpowers consumer electronic
HD DVD systems and supports network playback of HDTV
and multi-channel music from other Niveus Media Centers.
Massive
Storage...
Lastly, the Rainier comes with 400GB of storage, equaling
over 40 hours of HDTV recording, over 55 days of continuous
lossless digital music, and enough storage for over
250,000 high resolution photos.
Silence
is Golden ...
While other media centers clutter up your life with
noise pollution, the Niveus Media Center utilizes
the Niveus Glacier Passive Cooling System to achieve
near silent operation.
Family
Room Friendly Design ...
Size - Boasting a true audio/video form factor,
the Niveus Denali measures just over 17 inches wide,
and just under 4 inches tall, resulting in a true
high-end A/V component look and feel.
Style – The radical departure from
the traditional PC form factor allows the Niveus Media
Center to fit in even the most stylish living room
environments. Available in black, users are able to
blend the Niveus Media Center into any existing home
theater design scheme.

“Probably
the most exciting new feature this year is HD
DVD. With the introduction of this next generation
DVD technology, one can watch their favorite DVD
movies in full 1080p high definition. It's time
to push that new digital television or projector
to its limits. Beyond great picture, HD DVD brings
about a new era in interactive menus, in-movie
bonus content, and multi-channel audio tracks...
including Dolby® Digital Plus. You'll never
want to buy or rent a standard DVD again.”

Tim Cutting, founder Niveus Media, Inc.

Heat
pipe technology is used to draw heat away from
the processor, northbridge, and video graphics
card. The heat is then drawn to the external fins
on the sides of the chassis. The fins, manufactured
with extra surface area in mind, radiate the heat
away from the chassis. In effect, the entire case
works as one large heat sink. The net effect is
that the Rainer runs quietly in near silent operation.
Additionally, Niveus ConvergencePanel™ adds
high performance audio/video ports to the rear
panel of the Rainier and a level of modularity
that makes future upgrades a snap, including next
year's exclusive Niveus CableCard Upgrade.

The
Niveus Media Center is a unique blend of exclusive
hardware and software. Niveus engineering is continually
working on value-add features, enhancements to the
Microsoft Media Center platform, and media center
integration with Niveus add-on products (Ice Vault,
AV Storage Server). The 2007 Niveus Media Center
includes the new "Networked TV" feature,
and "Mosaic" music service to name a few.
As with Niveus hardware upgrades, Niveus software
updates are almost always free to current owners
and backwards compatible with previous years. |
