Superb video

The Xtreamer Ultra comes built in with nVidia ION2
GT218 40nm based GPU is built with 727 million
transistors. Core clock rate is 550MHz, shader clock at 1375MHz with support for DirectX 10.1, Shader 4.1, Dual Link DVI, DisplayPort, VGA. It has 512MB DDR3 memory at 800MHz on a 64bit interface for greater memory bandwidth and four times as many SPs as the GeForce 8400 GS.
The Xtreamer Ultra GPU encapsulate 32 shader processors, a 64-bit memory interface, 12.8GB/s of memory bandwidth, and a 22W power envelope. Despite the specifications, the GT218 will supposedly share its host card with 512MB of GDDR3 RAM, and it will have both.

The ION 2 is intended to address these weak points. It offers a better 3D performance, (digital) monitor outputs (HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, and VGA), video acceleration with PureVideo HD (since Flash 10.1 also for Internet Videos in HD) and CUDA for using the computing power of the GPU.

Superb audio

The Xtreamer Ultra is equipped with a high-
performance 7.1+2 Channel High Definition Audio
Codecs providing 10 DAC channels that simultaneously support 7.1 sound playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the front panel stereo outputs. The series integrates two stereo ADCs that can support a stereo microphone, and feature Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) technology.

All analog IO are input and output capable, and headphone amplifiers are also integrated at each analog output. All analog IOs can be re-tasked according to user’s definitions, or automatically switched depending on the connected device type.

Support for 16/20/24-bit S/PDIF input and output offers easy connection of PCs to high-quality consumer electronic products such as digital decoders and speakers.

The series incorporates Realtek proprietary converter technology to achieve 97dB dynamic range playback quality and 90dB dynamic range recording quality, and is designed for Windows Vista premium desktop and laptop systems.

It also supports host/soft audio from the Intel ICH series chipset, and also from any other HDA compatible audio controller. With EAX/Direct Sound 3D/I3DL2/A3D compatibility, and excellent software utilities like Karaoke mode, environment emulation, software equalizer, HRTF 3D positional audio, and optional Dolby® Digital Live, DTS® CONNECT™, and Dolby® Home Theater programs, the Xtreamer Ultra provides an excellent home entertainment package and game experience for PC users.

Ca va faire un bout de temps que je cherchais à m'équiper avec un mini PC du genre pour regarder mes films et écouter ma musique. Je suis tombé
sur le Xtreamer Ultra. Comme pour le buttkicker, je ne regrette pas mon achat. Le produit est top et de très bonne qualité. Il est livré avec une
clé USB bootable qui contient un système d'exploitation basé sur Linux. Xtreamer à customisé le système pour y inclure le gestionnaire de
médiathèque XBMC ainsi que d'autres logiciels sympas. Grâce à XBMC j'ai accès depuis ma TV à tous les films stockés sur mon Synology. Après
quelques petits réglages j'arrive à une lecture parfaitement fluide de mes films en HD. L'affichage de la bibliothèque de films et géniale
puisqu'on y retrouve les pochettes de films ainsi que toutes les infos relatives au film (note des téléspectateurs, année de production, résumé
etc...). rnrnL'accès à la clé USB étant un peu lent (clé usb oblige), je me suis pris un disque SSD de 60 Gb sur lequel j'ai installé Windows 7
puis XBMC. C'est quand même beaucoup plus rapide. Par la suite je compte installé Skype et d'autre logiciels sympas. L'Ultra étant un pc en soi, on
peut y mettre tout ce qu'on veut. Qui sait, peut-être que par la suite je l'utiliserai pour contrôler mes futurs produits domotiques :-)
