Popcorn Hour A-200/A-210

From NMTWiki

The Popcorn Hour A-200 was the first small form factor NMT that had Sigmas 8643 chipset. The model has been revised with no fan and a metal casing and is now the A-210. The Sigma chipset has additional cpu power and new licenses and applications to enable even more formats that are accepted on the A-110. The extra power means that files with bitrates well over BluRay specs can be played and file transfer are currently about 3 times faster than the A110 and expected to rise even higher.

A-200 Small form factor with IR Remote

A-210 Successor to the S200 with no fan and metal casing.

It has support for 2.5"/3.5" SATA HDD and USB Host and Slave functionality to improve connectivity and transfer rates. HDMI has been updated to the 1.3a spec, allowing full support of HD Audio pass-through for DTS HD-HR, DTS HD-MA, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD. DTS Stereo is available giving audio from DTS files when connected directly to a TV. The ports on the device have also been reconfigured, with a USB port on the front and back and a USB slave port on the rear as well. S/PDIF both optical and coaxial are present and a hardware reset button to allow for easier use of the device. The device can be turned fully ON and OFF with the remote alone, including the fan.
