Digital Deck Launches Into Consumer Electronics Channel

August 25, 2006 – Digital Deck™, a provider of technology to manage entertainment throughout the connected home, has announced the company’s entry into the consumer electronics channel with immediate availability of the new Digital Deck Home Media Entertainment System in 20 CompUSA® stores across eight regional territories.

Digital Deck’s system, which includes Media Connector, Software and Service, was introduced earlier this year and lets users access live TV, recorded programs, music and photos from any connected room, and enjoy them in every connected room around the home.

Digital Deck’s breakthrough software technology runs on Windows® XP and delivers a simple television interface for accessing music, pictures, and TV/video recordings, making them all available in each networked room. Digital Deck also provides digital video recorder (DVR) features in every room, including scheduling of recordings, pausing live television, and rewind/fast forward though recorded programs. The technology also works with TiVo ®, iTunes® and Flickr™ to fully extend throughout the connected home.

“Adding Digital Deck’s Media Connector to our collection of digital home solutions is the smart way to ensure our customers have access to the newest and best products on the market,” said Brian Woods, executive vice president and general merchandising manager of CompUSA. “Our customers have been asking for a better way to integrate all of their multimedia devices, and we believe Digital Deck’s solution will meet that growing need in the networked home.”

“Digital Deck’s Consumer Electronics program launch is a key strategy and a natural evolution for our company to reach the digital consumer,” said Joe Harris, vice president of marketing at Digital Deck. “CompUSA is an ideal partner to begin our in-store presence in select markets across the country and helps us meet customer demand for delivering digital media products that now will work together.”
