[CeBIT 2008] - Media Adapter with Powerline Adapter

05:20 - Thursday 6 March 2008 by Siggy Moersch - source: Tom's Hardware UK

Zyxel is combining two of its strengths in the Digital Media Adapter DMA-1100P. The third generation of the A/V streaming client is the first to feature an integrated Powerline adapter.

With the help of said powerline adapter, you can stream audio, video and images to your TV over the power lines in your home - provided a uPNP server feeds the material into your power grid. Like its two predecessors DMA1000 and DMA1000W (with WiFi), the DMA1100P offers both an Ethernet connection and a USB port as an alternative to powerline.

Supported Formats
Video	WMV9, AVi, MPEG 1/2/4, Xvid, DivX
Image	JPEG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, GIF
Audio	MP3, WMV, LPCM, WAV and AAC

The DMA11100P is scheduled to hit stores towards the end of March, with the price for this new Digital Media Adapter coming in at €229. Bundled with a Zyxel PLA-401 powerline adapter, which would cost €88 separately, it will cost €299.
