It’s back! The Rainier Edition 2007 is a premium living room media center based on Microsoft Media Center 2005 software, featuring proprietary Niveus Media Technology, ISF Video Quality Certification, and the Intel Viiv Technology Platform. The all new Rainier supports HD DVD movie playback as an available option. The Niveus Media Center is capable of storing, managing and playing television, music, movies, photos and more.
The Rainier Edition is the first of three Summit Series Media Centers by Niveus Media. Boasting up to three television tuners, including HDTV, 7.1 analog and digital surround sound, 400GB of digital media storage, broadband and network connectivity, and video resolutions that go beyond 1080p, the Rainier Edition is the ultimate media center for any location in your home.
Nothing held back...
Niveus Media builds and designs its systems from the ground up to surpass anything available on the market.
First to market...
The “Rainier Edition” is the first commercially available living room media center to incorporate next generation HD DVD technology. Supporting the playback of true 1080p high definition DVDs, the Rainier has stunning picture and smooth, flawless video performance. HD DVD is an optional upgrade to the Rainier Edition.
High Performance...
Built on Intel’s new Core 2 Duo Processor, and 945 Chipset, the Rainier overpowers consumer electronic HD DVD systems and supports network playback of HDTV and multi–channel music from other Niveus Media Centers.
Massive Storage...
Lastly, the Rainier comes with 400GB of storage, equaling over 40 hours of HDTV recording, over 55 days of continuous lossless digital music, and enough storage for over 250,000 high resolution photos.
Silence is Golden ...
While other media centers clutter up your life with noise pollution, the Niveus Media Center utilizes the Niveus Glacier Passive Cooling System to achieve near silent operation.
Family Room Friendly Design ...
Size – Boasting a true audio/video form factor, the Niveus Denali measures just over 17 inches wide, and just under 4 inches tall, resulting in a true high–end A/V component look and feel.
Style – The radical departure from the traditional PC form factor allows the Niveus Media Center to fit in even the most stylish living room environments. Available in black, users are able to blend the Niveus Media Center into any existing home theater design scheme.
