Today D-Link announced it has expanded the capabilities of its MediaLounge Wireless HD Media Player (DSM-520), a wireless device that allows users to enjoy videos, music, photos and more from a PC on a TV using a remote control. More than 200 online channels serving millions of Internet videos are brought to the TV, using active-TV technology, a new service that allows easy access to Internet video and entertainment sites.
The D-Link DSM-520 with active-TV technology makes it possible for consumers to play video files saved in a wide range of formats and allows users to add additional Internet video sites to the active-TV channel selection themselves.
The active-TV lineup includes programming from 36 U.S. channels, offering movies and music videos, radio stations, sports, news, entertainment and shopping. In addition to YouTube, some of the notable channels include: Comedy Central, AOL Video, CinemaNow, Google Video, Movielink, ROOtv Music Videos, Akimbo, MTV, Musicmatch, Napster, VH1, ESPN, FOX Sports, MSN TV Today, Reuters News, Yahoo! Sports and eBay.
The new Internet TV lineup also includes international programming from 14 countries, including the BBC and other networks from the UK, along with digital entertainment from Australia, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway, Poland and Taiwan.
The D-Link DSM-520 can also access videos, music and photos stored on PCs across a home network, a shared network storage device, as well as files stored on a USB flash drive, or external hard drive via a USB 2.0 port. The DSM-520 ensures HD picture and digital audio quality with the built-in HDMI port. Other video connectors include component, S-video, and composite output. It also supports coax and optical digital audio output.
The upgraded D-Link DSM-520 is available now for $250, while a free firmware upgrade for existing customers will be available October 4, 2007.
