Digital 5 Joins TDK at SUPERCOMM 2004 to Demonstrate a Network Attached Storage Media Server Product Illustrating the Advantages of a Network Attached Storage Media Server Product to the Telecomm Industry CHICAGO, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- SUPERCOMM 2004 - Digital 5(TM), Inc. - a leading provider of software to enable both wireless and wired sharing of content among networked consumer electronics (CE) devices, will demonstrate the first Networked Attached Storage (NAS) Media Server product to address the telecomm industry at the TDK Corporation (NYSE:TDK) booth during SUPERCOMM 2004. The NAS Media Server will be connected within the FTTx Broadband Access environment of the booth. This first-hand look at Digital 5's NAS Media Server product will be at the TDK booth located at L18 and 27906 from June 22-24, 2004. The NAS Media Server product provides an economical and efficient way to store and retrieve vast amounts of data, media files and content. Like traditional file servers, the NAS Media Server allows multiple embedded devices to securely store and retrieve content. The core technology, which allows the devices to locate and connect to the NAS Media Server, is enabled on an embedded operating system feature on the device side, designed for environments where a dedicated server or traditional PC, monitor, mouse or keyboard are not available or not readily accessible. The devices may have their own front panel display or they may be connected to a DVD player or TV, which can offer a richer user interface experience. The advantages a NAS system brings to the Telecommunications industry are myriad. The systems strive for easy administration and include features such as secure quantification, web-based content management, seamless PC connectivity, and standards compliance for interoperability. The Digital 5 software embedded in the NAS device is currently deployed to power connected Consumer Electronic DVD products from major OEMs such as Gateway, Apex, Oritron and Go-Video, as well as Digital Media Adapters from Netgear. Digital 5 technology incorporates advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM), Quality of Streaming (QoS) and a robust Security framework as well as UPnP compatibility into their software offering. Additionally, Digital 5 is utilizing its technology to deliver premium media content throughout the home from leading services such as AOL and Real Rhapsody. The Digital 5 networked products allow the consumer to stream digital music, movies, and pictures, from either their personal libraries or premium service providers over the home network and the Internet. "We look forward to having Digital 5 demonstrate their range of product capabilities with us at SUPERCOMM 2004," said Bill Black-Hogins, Director of Business Development, Broadband Communication Products for TDK Corporation. "Digital 5's products are good examples of the vast range of possibilities that, in fact, exist for FTTx Broadband Service users beyond the Gateway or Access Point, etc." "Digital 5 is committed to advancing digital media server products," said Jodie Hughes, CEO of Digital 5, Inc. "By joining TDK at SUPERCOMM we are able to demonstrate a complete NAS Media Server product offering to the telecommunications industry that will provide the benefits of a robust and cost-effective solution for storage and retrieval of data." Digital 5's technical team will also be available to discuss Digital 5 technology, and the benefits of NAS as an alternative to traditional storage methods.
