The CinemaCube is an HD multimedia player that supports the playback of most digital formats. It is designed to work well with the USB drives, digital cameras and camcorders you already own.
Want to enjoy high-definition movies and family photo slide shows on your HD TV, or listen to high-quality music on your premium stereo? All you have to do is plug and play. How easy is that?! With the CinemaCube, ringing digital entertainment from your computer to the living room is easy breezy.
The CinemaCube allows you to play the high-definition movies, music and photos stored on your USB hard drive. Instead of sitting in front of the PC by yourself, enjoy your own multimedia entertainment in your home theater with friends and family!
The CinemaCube is so much more than just another HD media player – it comes with a built-in BitTorrent engine! You can use any BitTorrent search engine to search the internet for torrent seeds, and then download associated movies, TV shows, music, software and more. You can also discover new media in P2P communities where users share comments and ratings.
The CinemaCube supports BitTorrent download. As long as the torrent seeds are already saved on your USB drive, you can simply unplug the USB drive from your computer and connect it to the CinemaCube, and the CinemaCube will manage the BT download.
The CinemaCube only uses 10 watts of electricity when downloading. And your PC? It takes 100 watts just to turn it on! That’s at least a 90% energy savings, thanks to the CinemaCube.
Also, speaking of being environmentally friendly, now that you have the CinemaCube, there is no need to burn CDs or DVDs anymore. That means you will not have to worry about keeping all those disks organized, either.
You don't need to set up a networking environment in your home to stream content from your computer any more. But if you choose to do so, the CinemaCube is up for that task as well.
Please note that in order to set up the CinemaCube with your wireless network, a brite-View approved WiFi dongle is needed, and it is sold separately. To purchase one, please email service5@zinnetusa.com.
The CinemaCube supports Xvid, RMVB, WMV, AVI, MP4, MKV, H.264, MP2, MP3, JPEG, BMP and PNG.
Since the CinemaCube supports most media formats, you can just plug and play! And because it does not recognize .exe files (where viruses often hide), it acts as a security checkpoint for your computer and the hard drive.
The CinemaCube has an HDMI port and supports HD content up to 720p. It also has analog component and composite connections, S-Video and S/PDIF.
* HDMI output fixed at 1280x720
BitTorrent is one of the most common peer-to-peer file-sharing (P2P) communication protocols for exchanging files on the Internet. More information about BitTorrent can be found on WikiPedia.
With the built-in BitTorrent engine, CinemaCube makes downloading media files quick and easy without having to keep your computer on. BT download is now effortless and green. You’re saving at least 90% of energy, because it only takes 10 Watts to keep the CinemaCube on, but it takes about 100 Watts just to turn your computer on. Meanwhile, CinemaCube protects you from computer viruses, because CinemaCube only recognizes supported media formats and skips the others, such as .exe files in which computer viruses sometimes resides.
