Two New Media Center PC's
Embedded Automation Releases Two New Media Center PC's Optimized
for Home Automation and HDTV1
Surrey, BC - May 18, 2006
Embedded Automation announced today that it has released two new
Media Center PC’s as part of their mHome product line, mTheater
HD and mTheater MC. Both mTheater models have been designed to
fit nicely in the living room alongside other home theater components,
manage all forms of digital media in the home, and are “home automation
ready”.
mTheater HD and mTheater MC come in the same, sleek, A/V style case to
give the appearance of a conventional home theater component (e.g. DVD player, receiver). However, on the inside mTheater is loaded with
the latest technology for the management of digital pictures, music,
movies, and more. mTheater also provides tremendous flexibility for how
and when TV is enjoyed with the ability to pause and record live TV, and
easily set recording schedules so favourite shows will never be missed.
Both mTheater models also ship “home automation ready” with Embedded
Automation’s leading home management software, mControl, and a starter
kit for lighting control 2. mControl manages whole house lighting, security,
IP camera, HVAC, and IR communication, in addition to a host of other
features for increased convenience and accessibility. For more detailed
information on mControl, its features and benefits please visit:

mTheater HD has been optimized for HDTV. This is accomplished with Intel’s
latest chip design, the Pentium D (Dual Core processor), an over-the-air HD tuner card,
antenna, and 500GBs of hard disk space. Hard disk space is very important for
HDTV as it requires over 10GBs of space per hour of programming. mTheater HD
is also an Intel Viiv compatible device.
“HDTV awareness and enjoyment have increased significantly with the penetration
of HDTV-Ready displays and the increased availability of HDTV programming”
says Maury Lum, Sales and Marketing Manager for Embedded Automation. “Major
cities in the US can have a number stations being broadcast over-the-air
digitally, with an increasing amount of the content in HD quality. This,
in combination with the advances in home automation technology and reductions
in price was the impetus for Embedded Automation to provide a single platform
to service both needs” says Lum.
