The Streamium MX-i6000 is a fully integrated home entertainment system featuring wireless access to online entertainment services.
The Streamium MX-i6000 adds Internet video entertainment, such as movies and music videos, to the wide variety of online music content already available via Philips’ existing Streamium service partners. The MX-i6000 can both access online services directly, or stream digital media like music, pictures and movies direct from the hard disk of a networked PC. Hooked up to a widescreen TV, the MX-i6000 will give consumers unprecedented access to the wealth of high quality A/V content now available online, enabling them to enjoy broadband entertainment in the comfort of their living rooms with the added benefit of a dedicated A/V system.
The MX-i6000 is a DVD home entertainment system which, via a broadband Internet connection, can access material such as movie trailers, short movies and music videos, along with music services such as MP3.com, MusicMatch, SHOUTcast, Radio Free Virgin and Andante.
Users can also access other Internet-based services such as online games and photo-albums. Viewed on a widescreen TV with the benefit of surround sound, these Internet services take on whole new dimensions of excitement and realism compared to the PC-based experience.
A feature of Philips’ Streamium technology is that Internet A/V devices like the MX-i6000 can be upgraded easily to add new services and even new features as they become available. Service and functionality additions – carried out via the Internet – ensure the MX-i6000 is future-proofed against equipment obsolescence and changing standards, as well as giving Philips the ability to offer consumers more services.

Along with the Streamium MC-i250 micro system, the MX-i6000 forms the vanguard of a range of new breed of Philips consumer devices featuring wireless connectivity based on the 802.11b (WiFi) standard. Consumers have the choice of connecting the MX-i6000 to cable or ADSL broadband services by either a wireless network router, or via a wired Ethernet connection.
The MX-i6000 is also supplied with PC-link software that allows users to stream movies, pictures and music from the hard disks of networked PCs. The MX-i6000 provides easy access to a consumers’ library of MP3 audio, JPEG images or and MPEG video: as a result the MX-i6000 enables music files to be played back via a dedicated audio system, and if the files contain ID3 tag information (e.g. title, artist and album), those details can be displayed using the MXi6000’s ‘INFO’ function. Furthermore, with the MX-i6000 connected to a TV set, digital pictures and video can be played back just as easily.
