Digital Deckô Reduces Price For Complete Media Entertainment System

1-Sep-05

Digital Deckô announced it has reduced the prices of its media entertainment system. The pricing action comes at an exciting time as market demand for home media networks, and Digital Deck products especially, is on the increase. The price change is the first of several announcements Digital Deck expects to make in the near future. ""Digital Deck is very energized about the increase in demand of home media networks. With our recent broadening of retail and distribution partners through agreements with Honeywell and Ingram, we feel the time is right to capture this opportunity and offer better pricing to the market place"", said Robert DeFeo, President and Chief Executive Officer, Digital Deck. ""The new structure provides a terrific incentive to buy now. Heading into the end of the year with a nearly 15% price decrease provides a tremendous value for a complete three-room system."" Delivering all of your home entertainment such as live TV, music, video and DVR capabilities in any connected rooms is Digital Deck's strength, allowing complete access, flexibility and control to and from any connected room in the house. Central to this solution are two system components: MX 1000 - This dedicated server/software device acts both as a media server and drives DVR functionality throughout the connected home. Sporting a 200GB hard drive, the MX 1000 can be placed anywhere in the house; its only connections are power and Ethernet. eDecks - These key devices are connected to the video sources such as live TV from satellite or cable receivers, DVD player, or VCR and TV displays. The eDecks enable the two-way transfer (encoding/decoding) of entertainment media to and from every connected room in the house. A complete three room system, which includes the MX1000 and three eDecks, is now priced at $3,989. The suggested retail price of the MX1000 is $1,770, while each eDeck carries a suggested retail price of $739. Easy to install, the Digital Deck system does not require any special programming or advanced technical skills. The system works over a home Ethernet network -- from any A/V source: live TV from cable or satellite boxes, DVD players and VCRs, or a TV or stereo in any other room. Existing consumer electronics devices in the consumer's system become part of a personal entertainment network via standard AV cables connected to AV inputs and outputs on the eDecks. An exclusive, simple and elegant TV-based entertainment guide/interface gives consumers access to their home theater components anywhere in the home. Digital Deck's database of over 150,000 IR codes ensures that the system's remote controls a connected device, located in another room.
