| Name: | Slingbox 700U |
| Product URL: | http://www.slingmedia.com/go/slingbox-700u |
| Date Launched: | 01/2010 |
| Description: | The Slingbox® 700U enables television service providers to quickly make an IP-enabled set-top box SlingLoaded™. With SlingLoaded technology viewers can watch their video content in high definition on a laptop or desktop computer, anywhere in the world. To make a compatible set-top box SlingLoaded, the Slingbox 700U connects to it with the USB cable provided—it’s as easy as plug and play. The Slingbox 700U’s small size only hints at the technology inside. Not much larger than a checkbook, it sports a striking industrial design. It is powered solely by its USB connection, which eliminates the need for any other wires or connectors. In real time, the Slingbox 700U takes the incoming video stream from the set-top box, transcodes it, and passes it back to the set-top box. The set-top box then streams the video over the Internet to the SlingPlayer™ on compatible devices. |
