What is Tornado M55?
Tornado M55 is advanced customer premises equipment (CPE) device for delivering streaming audio, video, and data directly to your TV set. Tornado M55 supports advanced H.264 video and MP3 audio compression algorithms in order to deliver optimal quality content even in adverse network conditions.
How does the Tornado M55 work?
Typically, Tornado M55 connects to both your TV set and DTV servers in order to deliver audio and/or video content directly to you. From the DTV servers, Tornado M55 receives compressed signal over broadband lines. Signal compression allows Tornado M55 to deliver higher quality content than your broadband connection would otherwise allow. Upon receiving signal, Tornado M55 decompresses it and converts it to format suitable for display directly on your TV screen. You can select from the available Radio and TV channels using the included remote control.
In alternative setup, Tornado M55 connect to both your TV set, your PC and DTV servers. From your PC, Tornado M55 can retrieve audio and/or video files and can display them on your TV set as if they are streamed from DTV servers. Again you will have complete control over displayed content via the included remote control.
