Given just how far <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/Vudu/">VUDU</a> has been getting into the custom install game, it's no shock at all to see it produce a set-top-box that's less <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/07/hands-on-with-the-pricey-vudu-xl/">STB</a> and more integrator-friendly. The 1U rack-mountable XL2 sports a classic black motif and plays nice with systems from leading control and automation manufacturers such as Crestron, Logitech, Netstreams, Nevo and Philips. You'll be able to enjoy the spoils of integrated IP / IR control, a 1TB internal hard drive, optical / coaxial / RCA audio outputs and an HDMI port. Sadly, the XL2 can't be purchased online, meaning you'll have to coax a <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/20/vudus-custom-installer-network-balloons-to-1-000/">local installer</a> to sell you one for $1,299.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.electronichouse.com/article/vudu_unleashes_xl2_set_top/C91">Electronic House</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/18/vudu-xl2-brings-on-demand-films-to-rack-mountable-enclosure/">VUDU XL2 brings on-demand films to rack-mountable enclosure</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:45:00 EST.
