Sling Media goes HD with new streaming box |
Sling Media, that cool company behind placeshifting technology for letting you watch your home video through the Internet, is back at CES this year with a new set top box. It’s called the Slingbox PRO-HD and it’s priced at around $400.
The Slingbox PRO-HD lets one stream “HD content from a home television source, including over the air HD digital signals, HDTV cable or satellite receivers, or HD DVR’s, to a laptop or desktop computer in and around the house.” You can of course also stream HD outside of the house to remote locations as well. It is the only product in Sling Media’s family capable of streaming HD content.
Other features of the Slingbox PRO-HD include standard (4:3) and widescreen (16:9) video support, multiple integrated sets of audio-video inputs and outputs (ATSC/QAM HDTV Tuner, S-video, composite video, component video and either analog or multi-channel, 5.1 surround, digital audio) and integrated looping outputs for each input. It should be available in the third quarter of this year.
