The Hindu is reporting that Indian engineers in Bangalore have contributed “core technology” behind Monsoon Multimedia’s latest place/time-shifting product, called ‘Hava’.
‘Hava Titanium HD’, to give the product it’s full name, apparently erases the difference between a PC and TV set, and allows the user(s) to view HD content on TV, laptop, and even Mobile Phone (apparently it’s WinMo devices that are supported….).
The Hava is actually a STB that streams digitised content (from a DVD source for example) to multiple PCs (or other WiFi capable devices) around the home. If this sounds familiar to any of you, it’s very much the same principle which Slingbox are using. Hava claims that this is the first HD-ready system (although I’m sure I saw a press release from Slingbox a while back claiming the same….).
Prices are apparently between $200-250, and you can find out more by checking out their website here.
