Streamium is a line of IP-enabled entertainment products by Dutch electronics multi-national Philips Consumer Electronics. Streamium products allow users to consume digital entertainment and multimedia content --whether stored on their desktop computers or delivered through Internet-based services-- on their home entertainment and/or audio sets. Using Wi-Fi music streams wirelessly to almost any type of audio equipment, anywhere in a house. With a Wireless Multimedia Adapter, it is also possible to play downloaded movies directly on an analog television set or to access the internet wirelessly.
Essentially, how it works is that a Streamium device plugged into the local home network will be able to see multimedia files that are in different UPnP-enabled computers, PDAs and other networking devices loaded with UPnP AV MediaServer software. i.e. NAS that supports UPnP, or even a UPnP enabled phone like the Nokia N93, Nokia N80 etc.
Moreover, the Streamium family of products, depending on the media capabilities, allows a consumer to connect to internet radio stations and internet photo sharing (Yahoo! Photos), movie trailers services directly. Subscriptions to web-based services requiring subscriptions would be managed through the Club Philips portal.
In all cases, using a computer with RSS receiver together with a UPnP AV MediaServer, it is possible to play back audio/video podcast. Some of the popular feeds include BBC live, Geekbrief, Reuters, Metacafe, YouTube. Although in most cases this video podcaster uses codec formats not supported by Streamium, it's still possible by using software codec transcoders on the PC to convert them to MPEG format.
Philips Media Manager, is since Simple Center version 4 - a free open source UPnP AV Media Server for Windows and Macintosh that is bundled with Streamium. Version 3 of SimpleCenter, was initially developed for inclusion with the Streamium line of products. Since Streamium devices also support photos and videos, SimpleCenter ships with video and image support, under the name 'Philips Media Manager' (PMM).
Options :
- Digital music streaming systems
- Multimedia Links to add to your existing LCD TV and Stereo system.
- Access all types of files and Internet with Streamium.
Streamium uses Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) technology. It works with both Microsoft Windows-based computers and Macintosh computers.
