Harmony, ReQuest’s custom commercial music and digital signage platform, was featured last month at the Consumer Engagement Technology World show and we got lots of great response and feedback.

Introducing F1 Bundle, the all new multimedia one-stop solution from ReQuest.

The F1 MediaBase server brings all the features of ReQuest’s Serious Play servers into a single-zone unit. Automatic dual encoding allows you to listen to high quality music at home while having smaller files for iPods and streaming. NetSync for iTunes lets you keep all your personal music libraries seamlessly in sync with your ReQuest library. Streaming Radio and Pandora ensure nearly unlimited listening options. NAS support guarantees you will never run out of space for your ever-expanding collection.

The F1 bundle includes a MediaPlayer that unlocks the more power of the system, bringing a wide range of multimedia options to your hi-def television. Play back your archived DVDs, stream hilarious YouTube clips, watch classic TV and free movies with Hulu, and even watch your Netflix “Watch Instantly” queue. The MediaPlayer also controls the Sony Blu-ray Disc Megachanger and even acts like another audio zone, allowing you to stream your music collection to your connected home theater system.

F1 Bundle grows with your home. Whenever you add a new TV or entertainment system, just connect a new MediaPlayer and your entire collections shows up in that room as well!

Serious Play 6.3.1 is now available. This release includes the ability to control Pandora using our latest AMX and Crestron touch panel modules. Listen to your Pandora station and give a “thumbs up” to your favorite tracks or “thumbs down” to songs you are tired of and Pandora learns to deliver content tailored to your tastes. Download these modules on our Documents and Downloads page.

This software update also includes a new “Episode Selector” for Netflix content. You no longer need to start at the beginning of the series and scroll through each time to get to the desired episode.

6.3.1 also allows editing and archiving of movies on NetSync clients plus a number of speed and performance improvements.
