| Media Streamers |
| |
|
Media Streamers allow you to play all of the
music and movies from your Media Centre PC or Media Server, in
as many rooms as you wish. Our customers often like to use them
with our
MediaMaster or
MediaServer
models, but until now we
have not had our own range and so we are often asked for
recommendations. We have evaluated the leading models from each
of the key brands and have concluded that the HDI Dune range
offers the strongest combination of functionality, performance
and reliability (see
www.hdi-dune.com
for further details). These are very good
products and they work well with Vivadi
MediaMasters and
MediaServers, but they do have a couple of weaknesses. The first
is that they can sometimes be a little slow in operation, the
second is that the user interface could be better. We felt that
it was a pity such good products should disappoint in
these areas and so we have developed up-rated versions to
address these issues. The result is our new Vivadi Dune range,
offering faster operation and a stylish and easy-to-use
interface: |

 |
|
There are 4 models in the range, priced from £399 - £599, with each offering
the same performance and user interface. The entry level model
is the Vivadi Dune Lite: |

|
The Vivadi Dune Lite |
| |
|
The Vivadi Dune Lite is a very compact unit, measuring just 162
x 83 x 142mm (H x W x D). It will play music and movies from CD, MP3 and DVD, but not Blu-ray. It will also show all your photos too. |
| |
|
 |
|
The Vivadi Dune H1 |
| |
|
The Vivadi Dune H1 is a little larger than the Lite, at 65
x 142 x 276mm (H x W x D). It does everything the Lite will do, and plays Blu-ray movies
too! It also has the capacity to add another hard disc drive, so
you easily increase the total storage capacity of your system.
All this for just £20 more than the Lite! |
| |
|
 |
|
The Vivadi Dune B1 |
| |
|
The Vivadi Dune B1 is the same size as the H1, but it swaps the
HDD slot for a Blu-ray player, so you can play CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray
Discs locally, as well as from your
MediaMaster or
MediaServer. |
| |
|
 |
|
The Vivadi Dune HD Max |
| |
|
The flagship Vivadi Dune HD Max is 65 x 429 x 229mm (H x W x D)
and combines the Blu-ray player and HDD from the B1 and H1 into
a single unit. |
| |
|
Each Vivadi
MediaMaster
will run up to 4 Vivadi Dunes, whilst the MS108
MediaServer
will run up to 20. In each case you can
mix and match to suit your own personal requirement, for example
you could have an HD Max in the lounge, B1s and H1s in the
bedrooms and a Lite in the kitchen - it's entirely up to you.
Whatever options you choose you will get superb functionality,
performance and ease-of-use in every room! |
