The player also has a 20x5 character LCD to display | | media/menu information. | | | | .: The road ahead | | | | Future plans for this device are stil underway. It is still unknown whether | | or not development will continue on this platform or if a more powerful and | | capable platform will be used. Since the design of this project, a lot has | | changed in terms of software for set-top boxes. Regardless of which software | | or platform is used, it will be slim and easy easy to use. | | | | .: Screenshots: | | | | Renaissance Box | | Back | | Construction | | Inside the beast (fanless) | | Interface (CDs) | | Interface (images) | | Interface (main) | | Interface (movies) | | Interface (playing) | | Interface (tv guide) | | | | | | | | | | | | Copyright © 2006 edge14 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ |
