ASUS launches O!Play Mini Plus smart TV set-top box
World's first HD media player with integrated Acetrax and Facebook support.
Bringing Internet-based entertainment to the living room, ASUS has launched the O!Play Mini Plus.
It offers access to a multitude of online services for endless entertainment from both video and social media Web sites, while featuring Gigabit LAN and Wireless N to ensure content is fast and smooth.
The O!Play Mini Plus is also versatile, able to play content from a connected PC, smartphone or tablet, and even automatically playing files straight from a connected USB drive.
Xhead = Popular online entertainment
This set-top box provides limitless online entertainment, including access to Mediafly, Dailymotion*, Facebook*, YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, thousands of Internet TV and radio stations, and much more. It's also the world's first HD media player that supports Acetrax, the most popular online video on-demand service in Europe.
The O!Play Mini Plus also allows easy sharing of photos and videos on Facebook by simply pressing a button on the bundled remote control.
Xhead = Wireless N, Gigabit Ethernet for smooth streaming of HD files
The O!Play Mini Plus features Gigabit Ethernet LAN support for lag-free streaming of HD multimedia content. High-definition multimedia files can be quite large, so the ability to transfer with high-speed connections is a must.
It also houses built-in 802.11n WiFi support, so users can go wireless with their O!Play Mini Plus should an Ethernet connection not be accessible.
Xhead = Versatile, instant multimedia sharing
The O!Play Mini Plus features O!Direct and O!MediaShare, which enable users to stream media files from a variety of devices straight to an HDTV without complicated set-ups.
O!Direct offers fast and reliable one-click streaming of content from a desktop PC or notebook to the TV, bringing broad multimedia enjoyment to the living room, both wired and wirelessly, without the need for USB storage devices.
Offered as a free download from the Android market, the ASUS O!MediaShare application enables wireless streaming of multimedia enjoyment like Facebook albums and YouTube videos from a smartphone or tablet to an HDTV.
Xhead = Plug-n-play videos without remote control
Another user-friendly feature on the O!Play Mini Plus is the easy to use AutoPlay function. It allows users to plug a USB hard drive, flash drive or SD/MMC/MS/xD card directly into the O!Play Mini Plus, which then automatically begins playing videos stored in the “AutoPlay” movie folder without the need to enter the user interface.
* Facebook and Dailymotion support will be available through a firmware upgrade by the end of October 2011
