The NTV-2500 from Neon Technology pretty much delivers entertainment
to your living room. Adding this device to your entertainment center
will suddenly give you Internet and email access, picture phone
capabilities, a karaoke machine, a DVD/CD player, and a digital
camera.
If you are looking for a DVD player, the NTV-2500 accommodates DVDs,
VCD, Audio CDs, and MP3s on CDs, and you can hook it up to your
stereo system for surround sound. If you would like to use it to
channel surf, one feature of this TV tuner function will allow you to
see the action of six different channels on one screen.
Connecting through the internal 56k modem or 10/100BaseT Ethernet
port will give you Internet access right on your television screen.
And if you are absorbed in a TV program, but just have to go online,
you can even set the view to picture in picture, so you don't miss a
thing. If e-commerce is appealing to you, the NTV-2500 also supports
SSL 3.0 for security. Emailing is also an option with this device,
allowing you to send voice or picture attachments with the Neon Cam.
The Neon Cam is a device also included with the NTV-2500. With it,
you can turn your TV into an Internet picture phone. By setting up
calls through your TV, you can establish a connection to send
pictures of yourself to other users via the Internet.
If karaoke is your passion, the NTV-2500 also includes a microphone
input for sing-along karaoke, though a separate karaoke disc is
necessary. Also included are a wireless keyboard and remote control.
With all of these different options, a fairly powerful processor must
be running in the background, right? Well, what you will find is an
Intel Mobile Pentium 266 MHz MMX processor. It also runs the QNX 32-
bit posix RTOS.
