Acronova Technology, Inc. unveils Xymba XB47LS, the automated CD/DVD publisher that works with a desktop or laptop computer and software to continuously burn and label discs for on-demand publishing applications such as electronic content management, data backup, archiving, healthcare, marketing, and audio/video distributions.
Xymba XB47LS has two built-in optical disc drives; one for burning data and the other for labeling LightScribe discs. After a disc is burned with data, the patent pending DiscFlip mechanism moves the disc to the second drive for labeling, so that each disc could be labeled corresponding to its data content. Xymba XB47LS integrates the innovative LightScribe technology that burns high-resolution and sharp labels directly onto CDs and DVDs. Because the labels are laser-etched -- not printed -- there is no ink, no smudging, and no peeling.

Syabas, a leading provider of over-the-top settop software and hardware and makers of the award winning Popcorn Hour A-110, today announced the Popcorn C-200, a next-generation Internet settop box that streams digital content from the Internet or its internal hard drive to your television set and home stereo. Unlike competing Internet settop boxes that support a limited number of Internet audio and video file types, the C-200 supports more than 30, including MPEG 1, 2, 4, AVI, H.264, Xvid, MKV, Windows Media and others.
“In today’s tough economic times, there are people facing the decision to either cancel their cable subscription or their Internet connection to make ends meet,” said Syabas COO, Alex Limberis. “With a C-200, people can experience the best of both worlds, as a lot of compelling content is freely available on the Internet. Today, consumers want to watch programs when they want them, not when a network or cable company tells them it’s okay.”
Like its predecessor, the Popcorn Hour A-110, the C-200 streams news and entertainment content from a number video partner sites such as YouTube, Vuze, Revision 3, CNET TV, Veoh, Blip.tv, NBC, CBS, CNN and BBC and Internet radio sites, such as Radio box and Live365 Radio. Additionally, the C-200 can stream still image content from Flickr, Pikeo and Picasa.
