The required performance comes from Core 2-series processors, up to 4 GB of memory and an NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card with acceleration features. Full support for HDCP copy protection over DVI and HDMI is designed to provide a smooth connection to modern flat-panel displays. The graphics card also supports large-screen entertainment with current PC games on a home television.
The complete system’s basic configuration uses Windows Vista Home Premium with integrated Media Center software. It can be controlled with the supplied remote control, while the VFD on the front panel displays system activity.
Connectivity on the Shuttle XPC G5 3201M includes an integrated WLAN module and a Gigabit network interface. A 7.1 audio chip provides surround sound for films and 3D games. The audio signal can be transferred losslessly to a connected amplifier via S/PDIF.
Every complete system manufactured by Shuttle includes 24 months of pick-up-and-return service and a free European support hotline.
The Shuttle XPC G5 3201M can be configured to individual requirements in the Shuttle Systems Configurator. Buyers can select the processor, memory, hard drive and TV card, as well as additional Shuttle XPC accessories.
The entry price for the HD entertainment system is €1,689 including VAT, and it is available immediately.
