Finally, there's a home-entertainment device that integrates PC
entertainment with traditional audio/video sources. GoVideo's slim
and stylish D2730 is not only compatible with a wide range of
physical media, but it comes with a rear-panel PCMCIA slot for
either wired or wireless networking with a desktop or laptop PC--it
even comes with wired networking card. Now you can easily stream
audio, images, and video files from the PC through to the TV at the
touch of a button. The unit streams JPEG images, MP3 and WMA audio
formats, and MPEG1 and MPEG2 video formats. Compatible physical
media includes DVD-R/DVD-RW, video CD, Kodak Picture CD, and MP3 and
WMA CDs.
The D2730 comes equipped with a network card for wired home
networks, allowing instant out-of-the-box set-up and use. Just open
the box, install the D2730's server software, hook it up to the TV
and an Ethernet-capable PC or networked PCs, and start enjoying its
innovative capabilities. If your home isn't networked yet, the unit
still operates as a full-function DVD player. And the player
operates wirelessly, too, using an optional wireless 802.11b
(16-bit) network card.
An intuitive graphical user interface simplifies operation, ideal
for novice and technically proficient users of both DVD players and
computers. User-upgradeable onscreen "skins" give operation a
personalized look and feel, and the unit's upgradeable firmware
ensures that you'll be ready for future DVD formats, too. A
headphone output with a dedicated volume control facilitates private
listening--perfect for tuning into Internet radio in the living room
while the rest of the family reads or sleeps.
When in network mode you have choices of my music, my picture or my
movies and the DVD can scan your computers HDD for your mp3s,
pictures or movie files.
A set of left/right analog-audio outputs channel audio to Dolby Pro
Logic receivers and stereo televisions. Both Dolby Digital and DTS
5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the
player's digital-audio outputs (one each of RCA coaxial and Toslink
optical) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video
receiver, and--in case your existing receiver is merely "Dolby
Digital ready" (with multichannel RCA analog inputs), the D2730
decodes Dolby Digital 5.1 to six discrete analog signals (left,
center, right, left/right surround, and subwoofer). |
