Mozaex launches the Chroma multi-room entertainment server-- a device series the company claims is the first to legally support Blu-ray playback, the iTunes store and the Ultraviolet movie service.
The Chroma does not ship with unlicensed decryption software, thus avoiding the legal troubles plaguing the likes of Kaleidescape.
The "iBLU" feature handles both iTunes and Blu-ray discs, while iPlay allows the control of iTunes libraries with iDevice Remote app, complete with Apple Airport support (via Express unit).
The Chroma itself is not a single product, but a collection of separately sold device forming the multimedia server. It consists of the Chroma integrated Player and storage server (available with either 1 or 4TB storage), the Player BD (adds Blu-ray playback), the Player ND (Blu-ray player with no Blu-ray drive), the Sonnet (wireless music-only player) and the Stor (3TB external USB storage unit).
Adding further non-Mozaex USB or eSATA storage requires the payment of an additional license fee.
Users can add unlimited Sonnet music players to the system, allowing multi-room iTunes audio and other online media. The unit ships with a RF remote and is compatible with 3rd party systems from Control4, Vantage, Elan g! and Crestron.
ABC is a courts-free alternative to bankruptcy. It allows a company to transfer all assets to another company-- in the OnLive case, a yet-unnamed newly-formed entity (a "new OnLive," if you will) with "substantial funding" from venture capital firm Lauder Partners.
You might not know who Carlson is-- but you surely visited at least two of its holdings, Radisson and TGI Friday's. Something of hospitality business giant, Carlson operates hotels and restaurants in over 150 countries.
Manufactured using equipment from Western Digital, the drives come in 1.5, 2 and 3TB sizes with 6Gb/s SATA/IF and should be ideal for desktop PCs, external HDDs, digital video drives and TVs with integrated recording functions.
Microsoft lists Dell, Lenovo, Asus and Samsung as the first vendors selling Windows RT devices at launch. It also mentions Nvidia, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments as silicon partners.
