ASUSTOR Inc., a leading innovator and provider of network storage solutions, recently announced the release of two new powerful multimedia functions for its ASUSTOR NAS devices. These two new functions are ASUSTOR Portal and AiRemote. ASUSTOR Portal is a local output platform that allows users to access a variety of NAS multimedia functions from an HDMI display. Users need only install the ASUSTOR Portal App from ASUSTOR's App Central and then connect their NAS to any HDMI ready display to enjoy functions such as Web browsing, real-time feeds from Surveillance Centre and multimedia playback. Furthermore, users will be able to use ADM to configure the wallpaper for ASUSTOR Portal along with adding their favourite websites to the portal which will then appear as thumbnail shortcuts. AiRemote, available for both iOS and Android, is an exclusive remote app created by ASUSTOR for mobile devices. The newly upgraded version of AiRemote provides users with two different interface modes. Users can now choose from either Remote Mode or Touchpad Mode to control multimedia playback from Boxee and XBMC along with functions found in the new ASUSTOR Portal.
“We are very excited to expand multimedia functionality through these two new applications. Now users can enjoy more convenience than ever before when setting up local multimedia playback,” said Steve Huang, Product Manager at ASUSTOR. “Further integrating Web browsing and live feed monitoring from ASUSTOR's Surveillance Centre allows us to take additional steps in meeting the increasingly varied demands of modern users.”
