"The Acer AT3705 is the first LCD TV to integrate digital TV with media gateway functionality," said Krishna Murthy, General Manager, Acer Computer Middle East Ltd.
"By providing customers with an integrated digital experience via the range of practical and convenient applications, Acer envisages that the arrival of the Digital Home era will be realized soon when Digital Home experiences converge bringing together information with entertainment," added Murthy.
Intel Viiv technology is Intel's new brand for in-home entertainment PCs designed to transform how consumers manage, share, and enjoy a broad and growing assortment of movies, programs, music, games, and photos.
The AT3705 LCD TV allows playing back content such as recorded digital broadcast TV programs and protected content purchased at content service providers over a home network by its support for DTCP-IP.
With an explosion of digital entertainment and media available via the Internet today, Acer says that using an Intel Viiv technology-based PC allows access to the same entertainment available on their PCs via the Acer AT3705-MGW - the first digital TV verified to work with Viiv technology.
"Acer is continuing to collaborate with IT industry leaders to develop empowering technology for customers, in pursuit of its long-term mission of breaking the barriers between people and technology," concluded Murthy.
