The iDyl Media Server

The iDyl™ lies at the heart of the digital home. A centralized repository for the family's photos, music and video, the iDyl can source this media to every room of the house on demand.

With up to 17 independent audio feeds, the iDyl provides a CD jukebox in every room of the home.

It also plays video, and in conjunction with the Video Node product, you can access your digital video library independently in every room of the home.

With digital photo storage, you can create slideshows, for distribution to video display. Why not have a digital picture frame in your hallway, and be rewarded with different world class art every day (or even pictures of the family dog if you prefer).

An upgradeable, high specification, hard-disk based digital media server, the iDyl will change the way you experience music and video, freeing you from the confines of the CD-case, localised components in every room, and cable clutter.

The iDyl™ differ integrated 3-source audio switching, uncompressed audio playback, synchronized audio playback across multiple zones (party-mode), and upgradeability at a later date.

Adding media to the iDyl™ is simple, and can be done via onboard DVD drive. Simply insert a CD or DVD, and the software will automatically copy the music to the server, which can then be accessed immediately in any room. Pictures can also be stored on the iDyl, freeing up valuable space on your PC, and benefitting from automated back-up processes when used in conjunction with the DFSolutions Node product range.

The iDyl can also access and playback media located on networked PCs and external storage devices. As such, the playback capacity of the iDyl is virtually unlimited, so you can encode audio CDs as uncompressed for superior audio playback quality.
