Interact-TV™ showing Telly™, the Home Entertainment Server in action at
Pat Meier Associates Lunch@Piero’s private press event during this year’s
Consumer Electronic Show.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada - Jan 9 -10 2003 - Interact-TV, a digital home
entertainment software developer, will demonstrate Telly, the Home
Entertainment Server at this year’s Lunch@Piero’s private press lunch January
9-10. Telly, which runs on Interact-TV’s core Entertainment Operating System
(EOS™), uses the VIA EPIA Mini-ITX motherboard from VIA Technologies, Inc.
Telly is based on interact-TV’s highly flexible and expandable Linux-based
entertainment operating system (EOS™), which Interact-TV licenses to PC and
hardware OEMs
Telly combines the power of broadband Internet, cable television, and home
networking to create a revolutionary Home Entertainment Server that enhances
the digital media experience from the comfort of a living room environment.
Telly, the Home Entertainment Server, makes managing digital media easy. It is
a dedicated digital hub for the digital media enthusiast in a package the size of a
stereo component. Moreover, Telly is fully extensible and "future proof”…
meaning you can't outgrow Telly. Software updates are simple and you can add
more memory or a larger hard drive for more storage.
Telly is for anyone interested in movies, TV, music, photography or home videos.
Telly features a suite of applications that can store, index, and playback
thousands of CDs and MP3s, digital photos and as much as 60 hours of
personal digital videos. For television viewers Telly provides a powerful,
subscription-free interactive Personal Program Guide. Telly also provides
centralized storage for easy access of all types of digital media including music,
MP3, DIVX, and digital photos. Select any of Telly's features from an interface
designed exclusively for the television. Storing digital media on Telly gives you
the freedom to share your media with other devices in the home, or over the
Internet through a browser. Now all your music is only a click away, from any
device connected to the home network. Telly can also check weather, stocks,
and local theatre listings based on any zip code. All of these features are
accessed through an easy to use television-based interface controlled by an on
screen cursor remote, but can also share media through an internal website and
a local area network. All this allows Telly to support the information and media
you demand today with the capability to support up-coming features like
Entertainment On Demand tomorrow.
