Conclusion

Page:

...back | Co |

We find only one possible use for the EPIA EX platform for common peoples. You may find it useful for assembling the small and relatively cheap mediacenter which can distribute multimedia content in your local network and plays MPEG2 videos from DVDs as like as MPEG4 and WMV9 samples from HDD. If you even have a wide and glorious HDTV plazma screen but do not want to invest your money into buying an HD DVD or Blu-Ray player so far, you can attach it to the system powered by EPIA EX plartform and watch videos in the conventional formats.
