N3200M aiming for a place in your home theatre
Thecus' latest storage solution, geared toward the home theatre enthusiast, is the all-new N3200M. Featuring AMD technology, it plans on delivering a complete media and storage solution. Based on AMD's Geode processor, the N3200M can be used to centrally store, manage, access and enjoy movie and music files.
Thecus claims that the N3200M is currently the only 3-bay NAS device with home theatre video and audio sharing functionality. The device supports RAID 5 and provides wireless capability to allow users the ability to enjoy their media throughout the home. For the security conscious, the N3200M also supports USB webcams, just so you can keep an eye on what's happening in your house.
Buddy Broeker, director of AMD’s Embedded Computing Solutions Division said:
"The feature-rich Thecus N3200M combines innovative design and the low-power, high-performance of the AMD Geode processor to deliver a robust centralised home media storage solution."
"The N3200M offers a compelling solution for households to easily store and share their digital media throughout the home network."
As you'd expect, the N3200M includes support for most of today's media formats. For video playback, the N3200M supports WMV9, WMVHD, AVI, MPG, VOB, and MP4 up to a resolution of 1080p. In terms of audio, the device will support MP3, WMA, AAC, PCM, and M4A formats.
No confirmed release date or pricing just yet, but expect those to be revealed at CeBIT next week.
