) has developed the first family of wireless entertainment products
designed to extend the reach of the PC on a platform that allows each of the kits to work
both together and alone to send DVD movies from your PC to a big screen, listen to MP3
tracks on a home entertainment system, even transmit live audio and video using a
mini-color video camera to any TV up to 100 feet away.
Computer enthusiasts everywhere can mix and match the family of products that all
operate on the 2.4-gigahertz platform using the same hardware. With a simple software
upgrade available for free on X10.com, the DVD Anywhere KitÔ
can be converted into a MP3 Anywhere KitÔ . Even the
revolutionary mini-color video camera known as the XCam AnywhereÔ
operates using the same technology and hardware to send live audio and video both indoor
and outdoor to any TV in the home.
For those people who want to enjoy DVD movies from the PC on a bigger television, the
DVD Anywhere Kit is the most simple and cost-effective solution available today. Simply
plug the Sending/Receiving units into the RCA in and out plugs on the back of the PC and
TV respectively. Then use the X10.com software to program the Wireless MouseREMOTE, and
enjoy the convenience and comfort of remotely controlling movies from anywhere in the
home.
The DVD Anywhere kit can easily be converted into a MP3 Anywhere Kit using the same
hardware and a software upgrade that is available as a free download on X10.com. Again
simply plug the Sending/Receiving units into the RCA in and out plugs on the back of a PC
sound card and a stereo respectively. Then download the free boom file and control your
favorite music remotely from the comfort of a lazy boy or couch while preparing to retire
for the night.
The Sending and Receiving units used to operate the DVD Anywhere and MP3 Anywhere kits
can also be used to transmit live audio and video with X10.com’s flagship XCam
Anywhere mini-color video camera. The XCam Anywhere comes mounted on a bracket, works both
indoors and outdoors, has a built-in microphone, and comes with 12 feet of cord. Now you
can mount the camera anywhere and enjoy the added protection of being able to monitor a
child’s room or front door remotely without having to walk back and forth from one
location to another.
"X10.com has been able to leverage a breakthrough platform to create an
unparalleled family of wireless entertainment products that are truly interoperable
without the customer having to buy separate systems and attempt to make them work together
seamlessly," said Alex Peder, president X10 (USA) retail sales division. "We are
attracting millions of customers who have been waiting for an easy-to-use low cost
solution to extend the reach of their home PC and be able to control their entertainment
products without the costs and effort associated with traditional home networking
systems."
