Further Development of Sling Media
The year 2006 was the busiest year for Sling Media. It was then that Applian Technologies released a PC-based recording program for Slingbox. It was called At-Large Recorder 1.0. Following that event, Sling Media also added an encrypted protocol to enhance communication between SlingPlayer and Slingbox. It was then that At-Large Recorder 1.0 was rendered useless. In October 2007, more than a year later, Applian Technologies released At-Large Recorder 2. What this can do that its predecessor couldn’t is capture and record Slingbox streams on a Windows-based computer. The later version also included a circular recording feature to be able to continuously capture feeds from security cameras or media monitoring.
Another software firm called mReplay also provided no-cost rich internet applications that gave Slingbox users the chance to watch, control, record, edit, and share the content of their Slingbox through Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. This can be done without the traditional software installation called mReplay Live. For mobile phone users who want to connect their phones to Slingbox, there is a mobile version called mReplay Mobi. Sling Players are available for various mobile platforms from Nokia Symbian OS, BlackBerry OS, iPhone OS, Windows Mobile, and Palm OS based devices. Those brands, after all, lead the cell phone industry and are also the most popular choices.
Laptops always make great travel companions. However, many prefer to just depend on their cell phone for the simple reason that it can fit in their pockets very easily. For this, Sling Media made certain that the most popular ones in the market work well with their products.
