... for digital hjemmeunderholdning. Plattformen som hadde kodenavnet East Fork, har fått navnet Viiv. Viiv blir merkenavnet på "stue-PCen", og gir lettere tilgang til for eksempel filmer, musikk, bilder og spill. Mer ny teknologi samt forbedret administrasjon av infrastruktur ble også presenteret på Intels Developer forum i går kveld.
Her er et lite utdrag fra pressemeldingen vi fikk;
A new kind of personal computer (PC) will premiere in homes early next year when Intel Corporation introduces Intel® Viiv™ technology* designed to enrich consumers’ enjoyment of digital entertainment.
Working together with a variety of Intel-verified consumer electronics devices, online services and software -- including movies, music, photos and games -- Intel Viiv (pronounced "vīv" and rhymes with "five" technology, disclosed for the first time at the Intel Developer Forum today, will help usher in a new era of entertainment choices for consumers. PCs based on Intel East Fork technology will be easy to use with a remote control and will be powered by a suite of Intel technologies, including a dual-core processor, chipset, platform software and wired networking capabilities.
"Intel Viiv technology is our first platform designed from the ground up for the digital home, where consumers are passionate about the idea of accessing their content anytime, anywhere in their home on a number of devices," said Don MacDonald, vice president and general manager, Intel Digital Home Group. "Following the success of Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology, we are applying a similar branding strategy to our new digital home platform composed of Intel’s latest PC technologies. Intel Viiv technology marks the intersection point where innovation, a multitude of digital devices, first-class entertainment and state of the art technology converge to put consumers in more control of experiencing digital entertainment on their own terms."
The Intel Viiv technology brand name communicates the excitement, vibrancy and vividness of the latest technologies that enable people to have a great entertainment experience in the home.
Her er ti ting som beskriver denne nye plattformen fra Intel;
Intel® Viiv™ technology* is designed to enrich the enjoyment of digital entertainment in the home. Available early next year, Intel Viiv technology-based PCs will be powered by the latest Intel dual-core, performance processors and other technologies and will enable consumers to access the latest online music, movies, games, photo services and much more. Here are 10 ways to enjoy this new breed of PCs coming soon to your home.
• Personalize your entertainment throughout the home: With an Intel Viiv technology-based PC, you can store, enjoy and share digital entertainment, such as photos, music and videos on a variety of devices throughout your home.
• Control your entertainment: Pick the music, movies and photos you and your family want to enjoy. Choose from your own personal collection, or go online and access endless entertainment options offered through a variety of Intel-verified online services. You decide what to watch, listen to, or play when you want.
• Don’t get up from that couch: You will be able to tell your PC what to do using a single remote control. Set up your home network and add many digital devices with just a few clicks.
• Choose your favorite design: Select the PC style that suits your home. Choose from sleek and small, consumer electronics-type designs (looks like a DVD player) or the latest, cool desktop tower designs.
• It’s "two" good: Enjoy the performance of a PC with two brains, or "cores," to help you tackle tasks simultaneously. Play the most intense PC games while you download the latest movie releases at the same time.
• Share digital entertainment with the whole family: Take pleasure in having different media simultaneously playing in different rooms of your home. These PCs will have the "smarts" to keep media, such as movies and games, playing in one room of the house while someone in a different room uses a digital media adapter to stream music to the home stereo.
• Bring the theater home: Create your own home theater experience in the comfort of your living room with up to 7.1 surround sound audio performance and optional support for high definition video to get outstanding picture quality.
• Don’t wait around for your PC anymore: After initial boot-up, you’ll have the ability to instantly turn your Intel Viiv technology-based PC on and off, similar to a TV. And, as an added bonus, the PC will keep functioning even when you’ve turned it off. For example, while the PC in your living room looks like it’s off, it can still continue to stream your music through a digital media adapter to the bedroom stereo.
• Less worry about the format of your video or music files: Intel Viiv technology-based PCs include a built-in "engine" that can automatically reformat many files so you can watch home videos, listen to your music and show off those family photos on more than your PC -- they can all be played or shown on a selection of digital devices, too.
• Plan your own TV program: Expand your choices, and take control of your content with personal video recording capability (using an optional TV tuner card) that will give you the ability to record, pause and rewind live TV programs.
Er dette noe for oss eller, jeg bare spør jeg?
