MIAMI -- Sep. 6, 2007 Triggering the latest evolution in digital entertainment, Alienware(R) - the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook and professional systems - is introducing the new Alienware HD Media Server to system integrators at CEDIA EXPO 2007 in the Life|ware booth (#320). Alienware's award-winning Hangar18: HD Entertainment Center, now featuring Blu-ray Disc, will also be showcased at CEDIA EXPO. The event runs from September 5-9 in Denver, CO at the Colorado Convention Center.
"CEDIA attendees have the privilege of witnessing firsthand the newest entry to Alienware's digital home line: the HD Media Server, which fulfills the demand for an easy-to-use, high definition content storage and distribution device in next-generation digital homes," said Marc Diana, Product Marketing Manager for Alienware. "In addition, the event provides a chance to see how the addition of Blu-ray Disc further elevates our acclaimed Hangar18 system."
The ultimate media server for the digital home of tomorrow, Alienware's new HD Media Server comes loaded with up to four terabytes of hot-swappable hard drive storage. The system enables the recording and playing back of high definition content at up to 1080p via an HDMI output, supports internal cable card (OCUR), and features a Dolby Digital 7.1 preamp output.
The Hangar18: HD Entertainment Center, already a Computer Shopper Editors' Choice Award winner, continues to build momentum by adding Blu-ray Disc, which delivers both 1080p high definition picture quality and 10x the storage capabilities of DVDs. Blu-ray Disc allows Hangar18 users to store up to 50GB of their favorite entertainment on a dual layer disc, and also provides stunning uncompressed surround sound and greater resistance to scratches and fingerprints. The Hangar18 will also be showcased with an external cable card solution, which Alienware has committed to selling only through system integrators.
"Life|ware's CEDIA EXPO booth, #320, will be home to a profusion of leading-edge digital entertainment and home control technology, including the new Alienware HD Media Server and Blu-ray-equipped Hangar18," said Mike Seamons, Vice President of Marketing for Life|ware.
