Linksys previews Media Center Extenders

Tim Higgins

September 26, 2007

Linksys has announced two Media Center Extenders that are "Coming in November".

The DMS 2100 Media Center Extender and DMA 2200 Media Center Extender with DVD Player are designed to support streamed content from PCs running Windows Vista Premium or Ultimate using Ethernet and draft 802.11n wireless connections.

The DMA 2200 has an upscaling DVD player and both products have digital and optical audio outputs. No word on the video resolutions supported, but the presence of the upscaling DVD player infers that at least the DMA 2200 might have an HDMI connector.

Estimated street prices are $349.99 and $299.99 respectively for the 2200 and 2100.
