Speaking on the occasion, Mike Mallon, the business development manager of Mvix (USA), Inc., commented, "Mvix Ultio is the ultimate solution for high definition home entertainment which is likely to redefine the HD Media player market.

It sports a samba server and a UPnP implementation, allowing seamless integration with services like PlayOn® or Tversity® (for streaming video content from Netflix, Hulu, CBS, Youtube, CNN, ESPN and much more).

Ultio is completely scalable - one can choose upto 1.5TB of media storage in its internal hard disk.
