The Fluid Digital Difference
Movies and recorded HDTV are the most demanding of media because of their large file sizes. It is very difficult to deliver this type of video to multiple locations simultaneously without diminished performance. The Fluid Digital A3 has the power to do just that. Building on the A2's abilities, the A3 can send any stored media to multiple locations simultaneously without performance degradation. A truly remarkable machine with high storage capacity and four HD CableCARD tuners, it is designed for larger families or the component enthusiast. Only the A3 can provide the "Anything, Anywhere, Anytime" experience.
Cutting Edge is our Standard
We use only top of the line, award-winning hardware in our media servers, ensuring stability, reliability, and high performance our customers expect from their A/V hardware.
Cutting Edge Features
The A3 is capable of next-generation, high definition Blu-ray support at resolutions of 1080p. In addition, the A3's Universal Video Decoder performs exquisite post-processing for a flawless high definition experience.
Digital Cable Card
Fluid Digital is a direct with Microsoft OEM and is among the select few companies authorized to manufacture Digital Cable media servers. With CableCARD support, Fluid Digital media servers are capable of receiving premium HD digital cable content, allowing you to watch and record your favorite TV shows and movies.
Unparalleled Storage
The A3 comes with three 1 TB hard disk drives, configured for RAID 5 striping with parity, resulting in 2 TB of fast, secure storage. That equates to as much as 960 hours of high definition video storage. Should a hard drive fail in your A3, it needs merely to be replaced and the data will be restored without any data loss.
Unparalleled Performance
We know you want your media server to be the central hub of your entire home's entertainment. In order to accomplish this, Fluid Digital loaded the A3 with a quad-core Intel Core 2 Extreme processor, 4 GB of DDR2 memory, and powerful, crystal clear graphics from ATI, sufficient for even the most demanding entertainment systems.
Media Extenders
Unlike your current DVR, the A3 allows you to record to one central location but distribute video to any other TV in the house over standard CAT 5 cable to Microsoft certified media extenders.
Component Blending
The A3's form factor design allows it to fit anywhere a standard audio component fits. The unique case gives it the look of an audio component.
Thermal and Acoustic Engineering
Heat can be a killer in the small places media center computers are required
to operate. Fluid Digital solves heat problems with a unique case and
cooling system ensuring you years of reliable use.
In addition,
noise pollution can degrade the audio experience of even the highest end
sound systems. Fluid Digital media servers have been acoustically tuned and
dampened to minimize noise and maximize heat dissipation.
