XPC HD
The XPC Series, designed by the same team behind the very highly regarded Uvem media server, is a true crossover product that allows all the benefits of using pc technology but in a truly domestically acceptable form. Its compact size, modern styling and remote control operation leads you to almost forget it is a computer. Using Windows Vista™ operating system enables the user to access all the following benefits using the supplied remote control and a clear and simple menu interface:

- Play, store and burn both CDs and DVDs
- Plays Blu-ray and HDDVD discs (XPC HD only)
- Supports all types of music and video formats

In addition the XPC Series has the benefit of full pc features including web browsing, email etc. iTunes and an iPod dock are also included. The future of home entertainment is driven more and more by broadband internet delivery and we are reminded at the end of a growing number of television programmes to visit the appropriate website for more information or to download the next episode. We have seen the launch of the BBC iPlayer allowing the public to catch up with all programmes from across the BBC’s entire network via broadband. ITV, Channel 4 and SKY all have similar services.The need for a high quality media pc in the lounge is now greater than ever, and the XPC series from I.US with the combination of excellent performance and compact modern styling provide the answer to fulfil this requirement.
