[Simpson]

The CyberVia designed by the company of the same name, is the first server for home digital HD television. Under his look of banal TV decoder is hiding an all-in-one quite original. Its implementation within your network is fairly close to that of a network storage server (NAS). The product has a Gigabit Ethernet port to connect to a router or the box provided by your ISP. Bigger files, CyberVia embeds a hard drive 1000 Go, where you store all your music, photos and videos. Therefore, it would be easy to access and read these files live (streaming) from each of the computers on the network.

No fear for any compatible files, the computer will decode it on the fly during playback. However, if it comes to play HD, the manufacturer says it is essential to have a machine powerful enough. For your music, photos or Divx, notebooks and aging Netbook should access these files without problem. Another constraint, if you use a machine connected to Wi-Fi, streaming playback could be a problem, or even be impossible if it comes to HD files.

To do so, it incorporates a double tuner TNT HD compatible with both the free channels of TNT that pay packages (Eurosport, Canal +, etc.).. Of course, to access pay channels, it will drag your smart card into the reader, available at the front. Connected to the CyberVia knows disseminate the files it contains, as well as TNT, on the Internet.
Again, it is necessary to configure the router to activate this feature. For users who would be uncomfortable with the various functions of a router (opening and forwarding ports), the manufacturer supplies software that will. We look at its programs, you listen to his music, you download your photos remotely on a simple Internet interface.

The CyberVia not only broadcast, it also saves. Classic for this type of network solution, programming recordings is from an HTML interface, which we have a electronic program guide informed about seven days.

Access to files is by making an Ethernet connection, we must interpose a housing, namely a "player HDMI, to connect the CyberVia to his TV. It is therefore, at the rear of the enclosure, an HDMI output, output Composite, SCART output and S / PDIF output to connect to an audio amplifier.

Announced as very successful, this camera can decode 180 formats (AVI, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H264, Xvid, MOV, WMV, WAV, MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, APE, MPC, MP3Pro, WMA, JPEG, BMP , GIF, PNG, etc.), Including of course the support of encoded videos in high definition (1080p). Noticing, however, that the Free TV decoders and are compatible SFR-Orange that will in the near future-with CyberVia and could access the files stored on a network. On demande à voir… It asks to see ...

An open platform for hard drives
At the rear of CyberVia is two USB ports can accommodate an external hard drive. The goal is simply to change its product by adding as much storage space as needed. What ever share files over the network and on the Net. Another USB port, this time in front, is responsible for hosting your keys and your USB-type portable multimedia iPod, iPhone, Archos, etc.. Again, the content of each media can be accessed from any PC on the network.
