Orb BR Streams Video from PC to Blu-ray Player

The Orb BR is a Blu-ray Disc that leverages the connectivity of your BD Live enabled Blu-ray player. When you place the Orb BR disc in your Blu-ray player, it uses BD Live to stream content from your PC or Mac directly to your Blu-ray player. The key is that you must have the Orb Caster client software running on your computer.

The client can stream content from sites such as Netflix, Amazon VOD, Pandora, and Hulu, as well as personal content from your music, photo and video collections.

Additionally, you can use Orb’s iPhone remote app to view a list of content and control playback. The advantage to using the Orb BR disc is that there is no need for additional hardware. However, the user must be running the client on their computer when they want to stream content.

The Orb BR disc is due to come out in February and will be priced at $19.99.
