Falcon MVIX Media Centre

Have you got the latest and most impressive High Definition Television, but find that most of what you watch these days is downloaded? Now, there's no need to sit in front of your computer monitor and let the great big screen in your living room go to waste!

The Falcon MVIX brings all of your digital media files and content to anywhere in your home via WiFi, in the latest digital formats at the highest quality!

Able to stream video over a WiFi network in 1080 High Definition, it’s a giant leap forwards in terms of making the modern media experience even more accessible and cool.

Now that computers are the centres of most people’s media experience, with downloads taking the place of physical formats, the MVIX is the ideal solution for sharing these with all the family or streaming them through to a big screen TV in the living room or anywhere else in the house.

Featuring full and seamless compatibility with all major computer platforms, including Windows, Mac OSX and Linux, the MVIX is firstly a drive enclosure, so that you can add your own IDE or SATA hard drive and use it to store your media files.

Secondly, it connects to your home network either via Ethernet or a 802.11b/g/pre-n WiFi network to share and stream content.

And thirdly, it’s actually a media player itself, which can connect to TVs (including HDTVs) via composite, component, S-Video or DVI with a maximum supported resolution of 1920x1080 Progressive Scan (1080p) video output for crisp, clear picture quality. The MVIX benefits from an HDMI port so that you can attach it to an HDTV to ensure the highest quality transfer possible.

The MVIX supports all commonly used media formats, and virtually all of the more specialised ones too. It has no problem with MPEG-1/2/4, VOB, WMV 9, DivX and Xvid video files and will also happily play MP3s, WMAs, AAC, Ogg or WAV and AC3 music files. And what’s more, you can display your photo-library as a slideshow whilst listening to music too.

It does all this all from an internal hard drive, an external USB drive or it can stream from any computer on your network. If you add your own hard disk - and these are now available at up to a terrabyte in size - you can turn the MVIX into a home server too. It's the ideal solution for storing or backing up absolutely all of your software, images, music, films or documents.

All in all, the MVIX is the ideal way to update your home entertainment experience!
