First 'truly wireless' multimedia player from D-Link to revolutionize 'digital-home' concept in the Middle East

Imagine enjoying all of your favorite movies, digital photographs and music (even Mp3s) with the family on a large screen TV or Hi-Fi music-system in any room (without running cables) instead of crowding around a tiny computer monitor. Imagine thousands of songs, videos and pictures listed neatly on screen and cataloged by classification or genre, available to browse and playback at the click of the remote control.

D-Link the world leader in innovative networking technology makes this concept a reality for Middle East consumers with the launch of its DSM-320 Wireless Media-Player, the latest addition to D-Link's Media Lounge lineup.

Fully interoperable and compatible
The DSM-320 Wireless Media Player supports and streams virtually all audio, video, and image formats stored on your PC. With support for MP3, WMA and WAV audio files, users can listen to music play lists such as M3U and PLS on the stereo system. Complete video format compatibility lets users watch stored videos in MPEG1/2/4, AVI, or Xvid format on TV or enjoy slideshows of their favorite photos in JPEG, JPEG2000, TIFF, GIF, BMP or PNG formats. Access to the above is made extremely easy with a user-friendly, graphical TV Interface and included remote control.

Simple do-it-yourself installation
The D-Link Wireless Media Player is a stand-alone unit that resides within a home entertainment- center and connects to the television and/or stereo using standard A/V or S-video cables. Using the included remote control and step-by-step TV interface, it is then easily connected to a home network via 802.11g high-speed wireless link, or if preferred, through standard Ethernet cabling.

The D-Link Wireless Media Player is IEEE compliant, supports the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) standard for immediate network recognition of the device upon. The wireless connection is secured with Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 64/128-bit encryption.

The D-Link Wireless Media Player also includes D-Link Media Server Software for Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP which intuitively compiles digital content on the network, organizing the data from the network library

Fun to use - Pleasure to share
"The new wireless media player gives users access to more content than ever before while eliminating the need to be seated in one fixed location," said Wilson Xavier, Business Manager for D-Link-ME. " This product is a great example of networking technology evolving to create a convergence of various useful everyday components and devices. Using the DSM-320 friends and family can gather together and watch thousands of easy-to-navigate digital-photos or watch their favorite movies on a big-screen with surround sound if they wish. All this from the comfort of their living room. Multimedia entertainment on a PC or laptop can't match that experience."

Tremendous growth in 'digital-home' networking segment
The 'digital-home' connectivity market is currently the fastest growing segment in the networking industry. With more and more devices supporting wireless-networking and multimedia- entertainment options growing rapidly, the DSM-320 will complement any home-entertainment setup. Revenues from digital-home networking segment are expected to grow exponentially by over 75% and D-Link, as the worldwide leader in the SOHO/SMB segment is positioned perfectly to capture this market, especially with the flagship DSM-320.
