Blue Maple Networks Media Servers

Blue Maple Networks servers redefine the idea of the home entertainment center. Much more than the traditional stereo, the BMN line of servers combine the best of consumer electronics, PC technologies, and design. Entertainment media—both high-grade audio and video—are of course built-in. But that's just the beginning.

Media Servers Power Connected Homes

Technology in the information age has made it easy for everyone to connect to each other. So why not your audio and video systems? At the heart of any digital home is a networked media server.

The media server serves as your personal media manager, organizing your own private library as well as providing access to the vast resources of the Web—the modern-day TV, newspaper, and radio rolled into one. Your server needs to deliver the Internet, and all its features, as well as it shows your music, home movies, DVDs, recorded TV, photos, and other important files.

Welcome to Your Digital Lifestyle

Imagine the possibilities of digital entertainment. Use digital audio players like the Roku Soundbridge and Sonos Zoneplayers or a networked computer in any room, or several rooms at once. Connect your media server in your home theater, and bring up movies, mind-blowing gaming, photos, the Internet, and audiophile-capable audio in your office, bedrooms, den, game room, or patio. With the Sonos system, you can easily combine all zones at once, or any combination. Shop on-line or show off your digital photos and movies on your plasma or projection screen. Record TV or FM for later playback on your iPod or laptop.

Expand Your Horizons

What about home automation? Security? Remote control? With a server-centric network, you get more than just great audio and video. A standards-based system based on open, interchangable technologies are designed for new technologies, upgrades, and the changes which are inevitable with electronics. Software becomes your audio components, making it very easy to remove one software movie player for the latest and greatest. Or run several, with no rack space modifications or space constraints! Have the latest drivers, updates, and patches automatically installed. And for hardware, you add just the components you need, without replacing the whole box. Add a specialized card for HDTV tuning. Improve your gaming frame rate. Boost storage. Add memory or even upgrade the processor.

BMN servers offer specialized and performance-oriented technologies for audio/video processing that even the most discerning critics will love. With its rock-solid, high-quality foundation, BMN servers add the ability to distibute your entertainment to any component connected to your network. And you can rest assured that your digital media is organized, secure, and ready when you are.

Because each BMN media server is hand-built and thoroughly tested, the construction and testing may take as many as 7 business days. During the construction process, customers may contact BMN for details about their order's process. Customers will receive an update when their product is shipped.
