Slingbox PRO
The Slingbox PRO is designed for the consumer who has multiple A/V devices or has made an investment in high definition TV. It features four sets of audio-video inputs and outputs including the optional high definition (HD) component connection for HD set-top box customers making for seamless integration into current A/V systems. Other new features include widescreen (16:9) support, high quality programmable video compression, easy connection to set-top boxes (e.g. digital cable, satellite, DVR) and remote control of A/V devices.

   

The optional cable for HD component set-top boxes is called the Slingbox HD Connect and it includes all the necessary cables to connect HD component video and audio to the Slingbox PRO. This accessory will be available later this fall. Those who wish to seamlessly connect their HD receiver to the Slingbox PRO using the component connection will need to purchase this accessory.

Slingbox AV
The Slingbox AV gives consumers who watch TV using a standard definition cable set-top box, satellite receiver or DVR, the ability to connect their Slingbox AV to their set-top box. Slingbox AV features the ability to watch and control TV from any Internet connected PC/Mac/laptop or Windows-based mobile device (and Symbian and Palm OS devices when those become available), widescreen (16:9) support and high quality programmable video compression.

Slingbox TUNER
The Slingbox TUNER is for those with cable who want to view their line-up of television channels and do not require access to a set-top box, satellite receiver, DVR or other AV device.

The Slingbox TUNER connects adjacent to a cable modem or basic coaxial connection even without a TV present. This allows the Slingbox TUNER customer to view their cable channels without impacting another family member watching TV anywhere else in the home.
