Anchor Bay's DVDO EDGE takes anything to 1080p for $799

by Darren Murph posted Aug 29th 2008 at 6:14PM


If you'll recall, Anchor Bay's heralded DVDO iScan did a fairly decent job at upscaling content to high-def levels. Unfortunately, it put a crater in your wallet about $3,149 deep. Now, however, the outfit is hitting back with an all new alternative that checks in well below four digits; the DVDO EDGE upconverts all video formats as high as 1080p and relies on the same Video Reference Seres technologies to do so. Additionally, it doubles as a robust A / V hub, sporting six HDMI 1.3 inputs, two HDMI 1.3 outputs and a whole slew of analog ports.

Niveus Media Center Extender - EDGE finally ships

Just after CEDIA, Niveus got all official on us with its Media Center Extender - EDGE, and while we were initially led to believe that the unit would be shipping in the November time frame, it has apparently taken a few weeks longer. Nevertheless, those anxious to get their hands on one finally can, but you'll have to fork over $1,499 to a Niveus Authorized Dealer in order to do so. Interestingly, we are told that the EDGE has become "the first Windows Media Center Extender to receive the prestigious Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) Video Quality Certification," so yeah, there's that, too.

Technically, Niveus was the first of the major partners to spill the proverbial beans on its Extender for Windows Media Center, and while it was sitting around for all to see at CEDIA, details were admittedly slim. Now, however, the firm has come clean and doled out the specs for its Media Center Extender - EDGE, following the moves made by Linksys and D-Link earlier. The EDGE boasts a "Glacier Passive Cooling for near silent operation," RS-232 / IP / IR for third-party control support, a trio of USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet jack, HDMI / component outputs and two-channel analog / digital optical audio outs. Unfortunately, Niveus' box doesn't include integrated WiFi, so its wired or nothin' here, and while we'd love to know how much this thing will actually cost, we do know it'll land sometime in November.
