Fullplay Previews New Home Media Center at CES 2002

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2002--Fullplay Media Systems (OTC:FPLY), formerly Interactive Objects (OTC:OBJX), today previewed the Fullplay Muse Media Center(TM) at the 2002 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nev.

Built using Fullplay's industry-standard Dharma(TM) development platform, the Muse Media Center replaces and combines the features of a standard, multi-disk CD player, a DVD player, a digital image viewing system, and a home computer. For audiophiles, Muse creates both uncompressed PCM files as well as high bit rate MP3s (up to 320 Kbps) for CD quality audio playback. With support for leading digital video formats such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, Muse can record or playback movies and videos from VCD, DVD or streamed from the PC or Internet. The basic design fits right into existing stereo or home entertainment systems and supports both analog and digital connections. And with the inclusion of standard surround sound audio formats such as Dolby DTS, you'll hear and see all the action.

The Muse Media Center makes connectivity a snap by including standard connections for PC networking (Ethernet), PC peripheral support (USB) and simple home networking through your existing AC power lines (HomePlug). This allows you to easily serve audio/video streams to receiver units elsewhere in the home, connect to your PC and share content, or go directly to the Internet to download music or videos.

``Muse brings together different media types into a single system and greatly simplifies a consumer's ability to access and enjoy movies, music and digital pictures regardless of whether they are stored on physical media such as CDs and DVDs, or downloaded from the Internet,'' said Dennis Tevlin, President and CEO of Fullplay.

Features of the Muse Media System:

  • DVD/CD-RW combo drive -- Plays standard audio and digital MP3, WMA and AAC audio formats. Encodes (records) standard audio CDs to both uncompressed digital PCM and compressed MP3 format and burns MP3, WMA and AAC digital format audio to CD-RW discs. Plays standard video DVDs and MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 formats. Encodes (records) lossless, MPEG-1 (layer 3), and MPEG-4, and burns MPEG-4 video to DVD-RW discs.
  • High Capacity HDD -- Stores your digital audio, video and image files on internal hard drive (40 GB to 320 GB available).
  • LCD -- 248x64, high contrast/brightness, negative, yellow/green, LED backlit, graphic display.

  • Optical S/PDIF Audio In/Out -- Transmits an optical digital signal down a non-electrical, fiber optic line, reducing ground noise between components.
