Annapolis, Maryland, August 28, 2007 – In yet another coup de grace for the fading HD-DVD™ camp, Blu-ray Disc has succeeded in wooing Xperinet, Inc., the leader in development of performance IP media networks. Xperinet announced today it will outfit its 2008 line of media servers and clients with Blu-ray drives, further solidifying the format’s dominance over HD-DVD in the marketplace. Scheduled to ship in October, the MIRV (Multiple Independent Replay Video) HD line of media servers will include a Blu-ray ROM drive for loading high-resolution 1080p MPEG-2 and H.264 files.

Xperinet is the first media server appliance to adopt Blu-ray for the custom installation market. Governed by the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association (CEDIA), this industry represents over 10,000 custom installation companies worldwide and over $12 Billion in electronics installation sales. “Xperinet’s leadership position in media servers for this industry strikes an important win for the Blu-ray camp,” remarked Aaron Chisena, Director of US Sales for Xperinet. “HD content is essential for revealing the capabilities of today’s 1080p displays, and no one wants to search through disks any more to find a movie.” The MIRV system not only stores video content, but also streams movies and music around the home so many users can have access to the same library simultaneously.
