Other highlights of the threads:

"The differences between the two models of xtreamer 2.5" and the Xtreamer Sidewinder :

Xtreamer 2.5 (mk1 - release year 2009) is based originally on RTD 1283 chipset

(1) The xtreamer sidewinder is based on new revised chipset RTD 1283 DD . This model we were allowed to license to support upto 7.1 HD audio passthrough.

(2) another difference is that the old xtreamer is based on active cooling and fan. if you are sensitive even to the current fan noise level you may want to use a passive cooling installed on the device. for this you need to buy the extra accessory (either XSC Kit or Xtreamer 2 sided Sidewinder cooling kit). The Xtreamer sidewinder model 2010 we produced the xtreamer device from factor with passive cooling

(3) The most noticeable difference between the two models is that with the old model you will be able to enjoy HD audio down-mixed and not passthrough your amplifier. it means that HD audio Dolby True HD will be down mixed to 2 channels and DTS MA will be Core DTS 5,1

(4) If you dont have a super expensive set of amplifier and at least 6 or 8 speakers at home which you recently bought and that supports this kind of HD audio codecs it should not bother you the difference as in all other aspects - the two models are identical.

the firmware is same, the memory is same and the features are same (except the HD audio issue i mentioned).

The jukebox will work on any xtreamer model !!!

(1) You can hardly find any title that supports HD audio 7.1
(2) We are the first and probably only device on the market which is fully licensed for HD audio. And we intend to keep this advantage by talking all steps to ensure this advantage in the future.
(3) The average size of titles with this kind of audio codec is around 30-40 gigabytes.
(4) no other device based on RTL in the market currently support it and we doubt they will ever will.

While you see this video you might have some questions about the differences between the xtreamer pro and the xtreamer sidewinder 2010 model we just announced.

Both the xtreamer pro and the xtreamer sidewinder are based on the same chipset RTD 1283 DD

The pro is a 2 bay media player that supports 3.5" the sidewinder support only 1 hdd 2.5". it means the Pro can store up to 8 times more data on its internal drives (and probably more once 3TB hdd will be available in the market). The cost of 3.5 " HDD is substantially less than the 2.5" and can support upto 2TB on each bay now to a total of up to 4 TB now.

both models can run without any HDD installed inside if you decided to stream all you data from the local network at home.

The Xtreamer Pro is not based on passive cooling and utilizes very silent fan. it has 2 internal HDD and it is required for durability as the chipset can be very hot when playing HD files.

The Xtreamer pro comes with 2 times memory capacity of the xtreamer sidewinder.

The xtreamer pro comes with a built in additional chip that utilize the full speed of eSATA when connected to PC. This means that copying HD movies which probably weighs few gigas is super fast on Pro in comparison to any other model we sell or any other model in the market. We are the only one in the market with this kind of chipset inside media player. The Xtreamer Sidewinder dont have such chip and all copy functions are using the RTL cpu power.

The Xtreamer Pro is bundled with HDMI cable + eSATA cable & eSATA bracket for PC + Wireless WIFI extension cable to allow enhanced usage of the Wifi 802.11n USB antenna.

the Xtreamer Pro has different home screen that utilizes skin-able wallpapers . This is not supported on xtreamer 2.5

part from these points...both devices are based on same firmware functions, same roadmap and same features. both devices can support HD audio up to 7.1 for TrueHD, DTS-MA and Dolby Digital Plus. Both will enjoy Opera web browser functionality once we are ready with version 3 of our firmware. Both will support adobe flash. both will support media jukebox . both will support xtreamer live streaming portal build in.

Enjoy your Xtreamer."
