If necessity is the mother of all invention, then the
inventors of the Open Road Media Center wholeheartedly
believed that the RV industry needed more
innovative technology. After years of examining the core
desires of RVers and consulting with many of the most
respected technological minds in the world, Open Road
Systems of San Francisco, California has released the
most revolutionary multi-media device in the history of
the RV industry – the Open Road Media Center.
The Open Road Media Center
was distinctly designed to both
meet and surpass the information
and entertainment needs of the
21st century RVer. The system does
the work of countless other media
devices onboard your RV… all in
one space-saving package: it is
a DVD player, a home theater
surround sound system, a GPS
navigator, an Internet television
receiver, a gaming console; and
on some models, a surveillance
security system. It will tell you
where to find the cheapest gas
or a great restaurant. It will tell
you if bad weather or stop-and-crawl traffic lies ahead. It
is easy to install, even easier to use, lightweight and spacefriendly,
and it will forever change the way RVers receive
both information and entertainment as they travel down
the adventurous road of possibility.
Right out of the box, the small size of the Open Road Media
Center is impressive – about the size of a DVD player and
about as easy to install. Even the ‘techno-phobic' can install
the media center, power it up and begin exploring the
system through a remote control-driven visual interface
that was designed with the RVer in mind. The Open Road
Media Center is essentially a compact computer that has
been pre-configured with software that brings all the
information an RVer desires to their TV screen. Using a
built-in wireless Internet connection, the Open Road Media
Center automatically accesses certain pathways on the Web
and displays the desired information on the RV's television
with the touch of a button.
Upon its unveiling at the 2007
national RV trade show in Louisville,
KY this past winter, RVers of all ages
marveled at this ground-breaking
device, crowning the Open Road
Media Center as the "technology
and entertainment package we've
been waiting for."
For years, the RV industry
has lagged behind the home
consumer market when it
comes to technology and media
devices. The Open Road Media
Center has not only leveled the
playing field, but it has put the
RV industry slightly ahead with
standard features including (but not limited to) 1080p
picture quality and 7.1 surround sound capabilities. The
system has enough digital storage for your entire family's
music library, photo library, dVd library and home video
library. Just as the iPhone revolutionized the personal
electronics industry, the Open Road Media Center is
certain to become the crown jewel of an RVer's digital
life. Find out more about the Open Road Media Center at
