The Niveus Media Center Companion™ is the ideal solution for controlling multiple media zones in the home. With support for an unlimited number of zones, the Niveus Media Center Companion™ software uses the Niveus Control Server (software that installs on the media center) and your wired or wireless home network to discover and control the appropriate zone and corresponding niveus meda center or niveus media extender. Once a media zone is chosen, the user can view their entire media collection, including recorded television programs, and music album art; one can easily make selections of their favorite songs, playlists, and Internet radio stations.

 

Simple – Easy to use, full color touch screen and navigational control.

Smart – The Niveus Media Center Companion™ software easily discovers your networked Windows Media Center system at the touch of a button. After discovery, the Niveus Media Center Companion™ software has a direct networked connection with your Windows Media Center system enabling a multitude of remote control functions from anywhere within range of your wired or wireless network.

Powerful – The Niveus Media Center Companion™ software downloads your entire media database of songs, albums, television shows and more, including the associated album art & meta data. Users can pick, play, and create virtual playlists of their favorite songs and albums. The music can be heard immediately from the corresponding Media Center PC.

Scalable – The Niveus Media Center Companion™ supports an unlimited number of media centers and can be installed on as many devices as one owns (requires additional licenses). Imagine controlling a home of five media center zones from the control of your laptop, desktop, or UMPC. The Niveus Media Center Companion™ Software enables whole home control of your entire media center based entertainment network.

Easy Upgrades – Unlike traditional remote controls, the Niveus Media Center Companion™ software supports easy Internet updates, yielding new features and functions throughout the life of the product.
