Pinnacle ShowCenter 250HD

Overview

Pinnacle ShowCenter™ 250HD is a digital media receiver that makes it easy to enjoy PC-based digital media files on a home entertainment system-even if you're not a computer expert.

Thanks to its plug-and-play simplicity, Pinnacle ShowCenter 250HD is a breakthrough in how and where you enjoy your PC-based digital media files.

Set-up is easy-it comes with all the cables you need and there's no software to install.

It provides remote-control access on your TV to all your PC-based digital media, including Windows Media DRM-protected files and unprotected media files stored on a USB storage device, such as a USB flash drive or digital camera.

It delivers high quality playback, including HD viewing of Windows Media Video 9, DivX HD and MPEG-2 file formats, digital audio output, and photo viewing in high definition resolution.

Finally, it finds and plays media files stored on any universal plug-and-play (UPnP AV) storage device on your network, not just your PC.
