It can also provide streaming of media files from a locally networked PC. The MG-350HD can be equipped with up to a 750GB IDE hard drive for media file storage. The MG-350HD can also connect to your computer through an ethernet port, or through 802.11b/g wi-fi. The hard drive can be controlled through buttons on the casing, or with the provided remote. The device includes support for the following formats: Movie: MPEG 1, 2, 4 (MPG, MPEG, AVI, M2V, DAT, VOB, etc) , XviD (Except GMC, Qpel option applied); Music: MP3, OGG Vorbis, WMA; and Photo: JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG. The rear panel of the device includes several connections such as USB device/host ports, DVI out, S-Video out, digital coaxial out, component-video out, Ethernet, optical out for 5.1 audio, composite-video out, stereo RCA audio outs, and an antenna connection for connection through a wireless signal. It should be noted that videos, wirelessly streamed from a PC, in both standard and HD formats stutter and lose sync easily; the best way to experience streaming videos is the wireless streaming option straight from an installed hard drive which is not included. The Mediagate MG-350HD was released in May, 2007 and has an MSRP of $229.
