Do I need to install third party decryption software purchased over the Internet to load DVDs into the Fusion video system?
Simply stated, No. We are committed to providing the best possible installer as well as end user experience while still protecting the copyright holder's rights. Fusion Research has written advanced software that makes an archival copy of the complete movie, bit for bit, from the DVD medium.
The movie remains in its original encrypted form throughout the entire network and is only decrypted by a licensed commercial codec for playback. We believe that this respects the copyright holder because at no time in the playback process is the unencrypted movie actually exposed.
The vendors who are promoting the use of third party software to defeat the encryption are actually exposing the end user to greater violations of copyright and are contributing to the copyright holder's fears of this class of equipment.
Does Fusion charge for movie recognition and coverart?
No, Fusion built its vast movie database on its unique open-source platform. Many thousands of titles have been updated and posted by the company's many dealers, before Fusion staff members monitor and groom the data on a daily basis. Fusion's U.S. film database is very comprehensive and work is now beginning to develop both European and Asian titles.
Do you need a keyboard to load movies?
No, movies are automatically recognized once they are loaded into the DVD drive, once cataloged through our online database (about 20 seconds) the user simply accepts the movie into the system.
Can you bulk load DVDs for your customer?
Yes, our systems ship with a bulk loading utility that supports at least two different models of disc changers (Powerfile & Sony Vaio changer). In addition Fusion has a high speed multi-drive tower for attended non-automatic loading (please call sales for details).
Do you support importing other file formats?
Yes, through Fusion's Java based user editor, you may easily import all commond video formats such as Apple Quicktime, AVI, WMV, Divx, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4. Once imported, the Java editor will allow you to add coverart and meta data to your home movies or imported films.
Can other control systems be used with Fusion?
Yes, Fusion can be controller by Crestron, AMX, RTI, URC, Proto, among others as well as Fusion's own control system.
Is the Fusion Microsoft Media Center based?
No, Fusion built its entire system within its own applications and is not based on the MCE platform.
Do you support Blu-Ray or HD DVD?
No, until such time as a legal method is provided to address these new formats we do not, however the Fusion 1080p player is capable of playing full 1080p content should DRM licensing becomes available.
