SnapStream Media’s Firefly PC Remote Now Shipping
Firefly provides PC users with a complete media center experience.
SnapStream Media Inc., a leader in PC entertainment products, announced today that the highly anticipated Firefly™ PC remote is now shipping. Firefly gives users access to audio and visual media on their computer using a remote control. It integrates with more than 80 popular digital media applications like Microsoft® Windows Media® Player, Musicmatch®, WinDVD and SnapStream's own Beyond TV.
Firefly is sleek, lightweight and designed to fit comfortably in the user’s hand. It is an RF remote and can transmit signals through walls and up to 30 feet away. Five programmable media buttons provide instant access to music, TV, video, photos or DVD applications. Firefly’s mouse mode adds control to applications that are not remote ready.
Firefly comes with its own media center software, SnapStream Media’s Beyond Media™ Basic, but is also compatible with others such as Microsoft Windows® XP Media Center Edition. Beyond Media Basic is a PC entertainment gateway with included music, video and photos players. Users have the option to add other media applications to the Beyond Media Basic homepage for quick remote control access. Beyond Media Basic’s 10-foot user interface is designed for easy viewing and across-the-room control.
