Escient VISION VS200 Features |
|
|
|
The epicenter of your home entertainment system |
|
| In this multi-media, multi-format world, things can get a little out of control. You have a personal music and video library that is the envy of more than a few of your friends, but it's a bit labyrinthine. You've got music on CDs in folders in your living room, your bedroom, your car, your office . . . and you've got other music on your computer and your portable. Whoa! Let's not even talk about just how dispersed your video collection is. You need a little help. No, what you need is a command center, a helm for controlling your home audio and video experience. You need the Vision VS-200 from Escient. |
|
You might want to sit down for this — 1 Terrabyte of storage |
|
| The first step that the Vision VS-200 takes in helping you to streamline your home media experience is to give you the ability to fill one 1TB built-in hard drive. This internal memory system features RAID 1 mirroring for increased data reliability and input/output performance and can store digital video, audio, and photo. Use the Vision VS-200's front-panel USB drive to import all of your movies, video, and music. |
|
Get connected — audio and video streaming |
|
| Okay, so now you've got all of your music and videos loaded onto the Vision VS-200's hard drive, which is located amongst all its A/V-component buddies in your living room. Let's say, however, that you want to listen to music from the Vision VS-200 in your bedroom. If you have another networked Escient VC-1 or Vision VS server in your bedroom, too, then you're just a push of a button away from jamming out to your favorite tunes. Escient had designed the Vision VS-200 with the ability to stream audio and video to other networked Escient clients via a gigabit ethernet connection. |
|
It's not just a media server . . . it's a player, too |
|
| Hold on, the Vision VS-200 does more than just store and play audio and video files. This media server/player plays CDs and DVD's, too, meaning that you can enjoy brand-new CDs and DVDs right out of the box without having to upload them, and you can replace that old, standard CD/DVD player, so you aren't cluttering your home theater area with another component. The Vision VS-200 features automatic disc recognition for fast loading of music and movies. |
|
HDMI can't believe it |
|
| Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Escient's Vision VS-200 features four HDMI inputs and one output. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. |
|
Movin' on up |
|
| Hey, you purchased your HDTV because you have a passion for high-performance, life-like video. Escience doesn't want you to settle for anything less. Designed with video upconversion to 1080p — the highest video resolution available — your new Vision VS-200 lets you enjoy hi-def video on your flat-panel TV from any video source. |
|
Take control, in style |
|
| The hi-def story isn't over yet. Managing all of your movies and music on your HDTV is easy, thanks to the Vision VS-200's high-definition user interface.
The CD/DVD guide lets you import movies and access DVD menus, resume the film where you left off if you visit the DVD guide while watching a movie, or simply start from the beginning. The Movie guide aids you in playing movies from the hard drive, streaming movies from a Vision server, playing movies from an external changer, as well as in browsing movies by cover, title, genre, rating, cast or director. Search for your favorite songs by genre, artist, album, or song, and create your own playlists with the Music guide. The Music guide also provides the same help in accessing music on the hard drive, streaming music and playing from an external changer. The Photo Guide lets you view your photos in hi-def and create and play slideshows with customized transition effects and optional audio soundtracks. With the Rhapsody guide you can search, browse, and play over 5 million songs from 500 genres, 120 radio stations, and 100,000 artist channels. Enjoy your free 30 day trial. Finally, the Setup menu lets you set importing and streaming preferences, set up network connections, and set parental controls. |

Avoid the 'No Wire' ire |
|
| The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new Vision VS-200 offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list. Vann's sales representatives are here to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your hi-def system. Call for expert advice: 1-800-769-5668. |
