2. Home Server Goal: Provide synergy between existing audio/video equipment, PCs and the coming wave of smart connected devices

3. Home Server functions Video/Audio recording Time shifting Favorite programs Data storage (managed!) movies (cinema or home videos) MP3 files documents Digital pictures Intelligent Agent

4. Home Server functions Access from everywhere In the home on PC, surfboard, display Over the internet Always on FAX, e-mail, telephony functions Display shows status in living room Organizer home Syncing PDA's, phones Calendar

5. Home Server Requirements Fits with existing audio/video installations N channels Audio/Video Signal in + out Controls existing legacy installations through IR Solve (or reduce) cabling problem Front access to connectors Interfaces with digital still and video cameras IEEE 1394B Flash cards

6. Home Server requirements Connects to legacy interfaces: USB, PCMCA, irDA, IR, IDE Interfaces to PC via 10/100 Mb Ethernet Remote controller that can merge all existing remote controllers Lots of storage space (and management of it) Silent (must reside in the living room)
