Neuros planning for the OSD3, 1080p with a Browser

Neuros has been around for a while in the media extender world, and have done a good job of allowing the community to really let the product evolve as necessary. Looks like they’re continuing with that trend and are looking for feedback from everyone. Sad news is this will not be another $99 box, but not sure just how high it may get. Hopefully they saw the MCX’s failure at a $300 MSRP and won’t make that mistake.

 

Gear Diary

1. We’re probably a good 18 months away from a consumer product (minimum/optimistic I’d say) 2. It will be full 1080p/60 capable on both encoding and decoding (h.264, etc) with *official* support for that performance from TI 3. It will combine a solid ARM core as well. As you’d expect it will only be a step up from Cortex A8 OMAP 35x
4. Its targeted at the high end, the initial spec we’re talking about 2GB of DDR3 memory so this is a full HD solution, not a $99 Roku device.
5. A full solid web browser is a pre-requisite. This means HTML5, Full Adobe flash support, including Hulu HD and the like.
