Media Center PC for Custom Installers
The Integra NVS-.7.7 is targeted specifically at custom installers who want to install Media Center PCs with minimum set up and after sales hassle. The convenience of avoiding the problems common to open-platform PC-focused systems and software comes at a premium though, a $3000 premium. For that you get a black box packed with a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 D820 processor, 1GB RAM, 400GB hard drive, and both digital ATSC and analogue NTSC tuners, the usual bunch of ins and outs but also the unusual, in fact first of its kind, Dolby's Master Studio technology suite for full 7.1 channel surround sound, as well as an Integra-designed sound card featuring Wolfson 192kHz/24-bit DACs and Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry, which apparently delivers smoother, more detailed stereo analogue output.
