myka - Movies, TV, Internet and More - My Way
Remember that Magic Box you had always wished for? You know, the one
that would finally free your PC of all your favorite movies and shows
and put them where you can enjoy them better in all their high-def
glory -- your TV?
Well, we'd like to introduce myka - the Magic Box you've been waiting
for. myka is the download and streaming media device that makes it easy to view movies, videos, tv shows and more using the global standard for delivering high-quality files over the
Internet.
No Need For iTunes
myka can deliver any kind of
content to your TV, developed in an open platform. No closed,
proprietary system that works only on, say, Apple TV.
That means you don't need iTunes or any other prepackaged, closed system.
This is the Internet as it was meant to be experienced - without
borders and open to any kind of content for consumers and any kind of
innovation for developers.
That translates into choices.
A Plethora Of Choices
Use any
peer-to-peer file-transfer protocol or our built-in BitTorrent protocol with more
than 160 million installed clients. That means the more popular a large
video file, the faster it can be transferred to your device. The
result is quick, easy-to-use, high-quality, video downloads from major
studios and content providers without tying up you computer for hours
Simplicity
And what myka brings into your life is simple: Connect her to the
Internet, plug her into your TV and myka does the rest for you. With
the BitTorrent protocol built right in, video torrents can be
downloaded directly from the Web or transferred from your computer,
freeing up your PC's or laptop's memory and processor for work or play.
And you don't need to do any work to figure out how to get the file to
actually play on your TV. With a wide range of file formats supported,
you don't need to think about it at all. Just plug it in and enjoy.
A World Of Content
We're in discussions with major
content owners, studios and TV networks, and myka will offer a growing
variety of content download services - all seamlessly directed right
into the TV in your living room without the need for consumers to
monkey around with compatibility issues.
Wireless
myka Connects to the internet through an direct LAN connection or WiFi.
Myka comes with an internal hard drive with a choice of an 80-gigabyte,
160-gigabyte and a 500-gigabyte model.
Access On The Road
And because we know you don't spend all your time at home, myka can be
accessed from anywhere you can find a Web connection - at work or on
the road - or from your Mobile
Not Built By Kids
myka was designed and built by veterans in the Internet video industry
who know the importance of providing an open system that is easy to
publish to. |
Now that Myka is in production, we thought we would talk a little about what sets us apart from some of the other IPTV platforms. Myka is taking a truly open source approach to its software. We will be providing more detail in the coming weeks in the developers section. We will be making public the API's to our middleware as well as letting developers create their own interfaces. 
Myka is built on a state of the art system on a chip (SOC). The Sigma Designs SMP 8635 is truly amazing. We have published more of the specs in the developers section. Your files will play back beautifully in high def, all the way up to 1080p. We've been showing you the pretty outside for months. We tore one open to show you the insides.
