Popcorn Hour C-200

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Popcorn Hour C-200 is the most powerful and versatile Networked Media Tank yet.

With it's blazing-fast processor, Blu-ray capability, and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, the C-200 makes an ideal addition to your home theater set up or high-def entertainment system.

C-200 contains an upgraded Sigma SMP8643 667 Mhz processor, HDMI 1.3 out, two SATA slots, a drive bay for mounting your own HDD, DVD or even Blu-ray drive (requires internal HDD or 1GB USB stick) and supports a list of networking standards, codecs and containers far too long to recount here. At first glance, only DivX jumps out as missing from the list, have a look at the forum posting and let us know if you spot. Of course, there's already a video unboxing available, seen after the break (along with the copied list of specs) or check out the full Google translated early hands on impressions from HomeTheater.co.il. The most pressing questions of when will these be available and for how much, will have to be answered at another time.

Popcorn Hour A-110

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A 'networked media tank' sits on your home network, acting as an intermediary between the internet, your television and your PC. The Popcorn Hour A-110 is one of the most flexible examples we've seen yet.

The box itself looks like it's been assembled on someone's kitchen table in the Far East. It is basically a circuit board, a few connections including composite, component, HDMI V1.3 and Ethernet outputs, cage sides and a top held on with thumbscrews.

Low marks for style, then, and also for the six-page instruction booklet, which is extremely rudimentary considering that it could clearly do with a 100-page manual.

It comes without any internal storage, but you can add a SATA hard drive of up to 1.5Tb to enhance its functionality.

You get an infrared remote control, and a wireless dongle is an optional extra.

The Popcorn Hour S-210 "Store Front" Digital Signage system offers a powerful and flexible platform for presenting full-motion audio-visual and still-image graphic advertising. The S-210 is ideal for in-store retail presentations, trade shows and many other settings.

The minuscule S-210 media streamer was built to run around the clock with little power consumption, and it packs 2GB of internal USB flash storage along with no "complicated PC architecture." Everything that goes through the device is controlled by a bundled PC app, and the included HDMI 1.1a / VGA outputs link your advertisements (or other media) to a display.
