The Fluid Digital Difference
Blu-ray Server (Should be used with Reservoir Series Storage)
The SPRINKLER is our highest value server. It has twin high speed 500GB drives (500 GB usable) for Mirror redundant data protection dependability, and “Hot Swap” capability just like our other models.
As a stand alone server the SPRINKLER is perfect for those users who stream video from IPTV or NetFlix, and whose primary storage needs are for music and photos.
The SPRINKLER is best used in multiples (up to 8) with our RESERVOIR SERIES Storage devices. Since a RESERVOIR SERIES storage device has sufficient throughput to deliver up to eight 1080p video streams simultaneously, it can be used to store all your media. Music, photos, recorded HDTV, 1080p movie collections, and documents can all be stored in one location and accessed by up to eight different servers at the same time. The RESERVOIR SERIES devices also use Mirror redundancy or RAID 5 configuration (depending on model) to insure your data is always backed up and safe. This eliminates the need for large hard drives in a server. That makes the efficiency of the SPRINKLER a cost effective solution for multiple server installations, and a perfect solution for anyone who wants to distribute 1080p movies throughout their home from a single source.
Cutting Edge is our Standard
We use only top of the line, award-winning hardware in our media servers, ensuring stability, reliability, and high performance our customers expect from their A/V hardware.
Cutting Edge Features
The Sprinkler is capable of next-generation, high definition Blu-ray support at resolutions of 1080p. In addition, the Sprinkler's Universal Video Decoder performs exquisite post-processing for a flawless high definition experience.
Digital Cable Card
Fluid Digital is a direct with Microsoft OEM and is among the select few companies authorized to manufacture Digital Cable media servers. With CableCARD support, Fluid Digital media servers are capable of receiving premium HD digital cable content, allowing you to watch and record your favorite TV shows and movies.
Unparalleled Storage
The Sprinkler comes with a 500GB hard disk drive. That equates to as much as 240 hours of high definition video storage.
Unparalleled Performance
We know you want your media server to be the central hub of your entire home's entertainment. In order to accomplish this, Fluid Digital loaded the Sprinkler with a quad-core AMD X2240 processor, 2 GB of DDR3 memory, and powerful, crystal clear graphics from ATI, sufficient for even the most demanding entertainment systems.
Media Extenders
Unlike your current DVR, the Sprinkler allows you to record to one central location but distribute video to any other TV in the house over standard CAT 5 cable to Microsoft certified media extenders.
Component Blending
The Sprinkler's form factor design allows it to fit anywhere a standard audio component fits. The unique case gives it the look of an audio component.
Thermal and Acoustic Engineering
Heat can be a killer in the small places media center computers are required
to operate. Fluid Digital solves heat problems with a unique case and
cooling system ensuring you years of reliable use.
In addition,
noise pollution can degrade the audio experience of even the highest end
sound systems. Fluid Digital media servers have been acoustically tuned and
dampened to minimize noise and maximize heat dissipation.
