Imerge launches new state-of-the-art in media server technology (3/11/2008)

Imerge - the Cambridge-based pioneer of the hard disk-based media-server, is delighted to announce the launch of the new MS1 media-server and associated XiVASafe hard disk-based storage solutions; combined they form the ultimate entertainment system. The launch of these leading-edge products heralds nothing less than a new dawn for custom installation-based home entertainment...

Key features – Imerge MS1 media-server

• 1080p video playback via HDMI
• Non-PC Audiophile-grade audio board with Wolfson Delta-Sigma 24-bit DACs
• Incredible flash-based GUI (graphical user interface)
• Comprehensive connectivity
• Supremely configurable
• Improved XiVALink
• Near silent operation (uses external XiVASafe storage solutions)

Following in the footsteps of the legendary S3000 SoundServer and MS5000 media-server, Imerge combines state of the art electronics with world-class performance to bring you the MS1 media-server and its accompanying enterprise-grade storage solution options, dubbed XiVASafe.

The MS1 is the end product of over 10 years of mediaserver hardware and software development experience, delivering awesome audiophile and videophile performance and designed to set new benchmarks against which all others will be measured.

Proprietary embedded XiVA technology, designed specifically for the custom installation market, builds upon this leading software standard, adding features to the product genre never before thought possible.

A high-definition, graphically-driven user interface sets new standards for enjoyment and ease of use, making the very act of browsing and playing back your music and movie media an art form.

Near silent operation (because it uses external storage) provides amazing flexibility in installation terms, whether rack-mounted (in a remote location) or used in a room.

Features such as optimised network video performance, with up to 1080p resolution, and support for all common audio formats will impress videophiles and audiophiles alike.

Designed to be infinitely expandable, the MS1 becomes a true 'hub' for all media entertainment needs.

A world-beating media-server solution deserves to be partnered with the very best in hard drive technology to offer up the ultimate experience... the new Imerge XiVASafe storage solutions won't disappoint.

Our iSCSI solutions, for instance, offer enterprise-grade RAID 6 hard drive arrays, fully customised for the CI industry by Imerge, which deliver data-centre standards of reliability and security for audio-visual content, standards previously only encountered in financial, medical and scientific markets.

Available in capacities of up to 6Tb (capable of storing up to 1700 hours of movies) and with future scalability assured, the user can have real peace of mind that Imerge’s XiVASafe solutions provide the robustness, reliability and performance to securely store and serve up precious music and movie collections, whenever and where ever they want to access them.

Cameron Wade, CEO of Imerge comments on the MS1 and XiVASafe solutions...
“I’m absolutely delighted with the MS1 and XiVASafe – these are , leading edge products that truly have the wow factor. Both solutions are state of the art... nothing out there right now even gets close.”

The Imerge MS1 entertainment server and XiVASafe storage solutions are the pinnacle of home entertainment. The inventor of the CI media-server concept has raised the bar yet again...
