VidaBox Media Extenders


What's a Media Extender?

A Media Extender is a device that:
  • Plays back media stored on a server - movies, photos, music, TV, videos, etc.
  • Can be located in a room where the display (TV/Projector) is, or
  • Can be mounted/stacked in a standard equipment rack
  • Designed to be left on for 24/7, and available at all times - day or night
  • Should work in concert with other extenders around the home
VidaBox carries a complete line of media extenders to serve your unique needs. You can learn more about all of our different models below.

Perfect, Lossless Playback
VidaBox systems never compress AV signals, providing lossless playback
 
Need Rack-mount option? · Plan on rack-mounting the equipment?
Most professional installers prefer rack-mountable equipment, making the RACK Extender the choice option. In conjunction with a RackServer, everything for AV distribution can neatly be rack-mounted.
