CodexNovus intros new DML / DMS media servers
It's been a hot minute since we've seen any new kit from CodexNovus, but just recently the firm upped its DML offers and introduced the all new DMS-6000, all of which are worth taking a look at. Picking up where the 400GB DML-400 and 1TB DML-1000 left off, the 1.6TB DML-1600 enables owners to store loads of data, send out multiple streams of media to other HDcodex Players and Player / Servers and view / listen to networked media in surround sound / 1080p. If you're desperately in need of a place to actually house all of that media you don't own just yet, the rack-mountable 6TB DMS-6000 (pictured) should hold plenty. We haven't heard any pricing details yet, but judging by history, we don't reckon they'll be cheap.Read - DML expansionRead - DMS-6000 introduction
CodexNovus unveils HDcodex 1080p media "server"
We're not sure why anyone would want to have 1TB of storage in a set-top box and not, say, attached to a dedicated media PC, but those looking to max out their home theater rigs should check out CodexNovus' new HDcodex. The 1080p-capable unit sports compatibility with most popular formats, including the all-important DivX and XviD (but not, apparently H.264) and supports 7.1 channel Dolby Digital and DTS sound output -- but lacks HDMI. We're also not certain why CodexNovus is calling the HDCodex a "server," since we don't see any provision for remote viewing, but marketing probably takes over when you're schlepping a $5,000 box that is barely competitive with the Xbox 360 and the Apple TV. Expect to see the DML-1000 in Q3, while the $3,499 400GB DML-400 will drop in Q3.[Via Electronic House]
