Visteon Introduces MACH(R) Line of Multimedia Products at Convergence 2000
DETROIT, Oct. 16 Visteon Corporation takes
MACH(R) to the max with the launch of a new family of multimedia products.
MACH is no longer just audio -- it is a complete in-vehicle entertainment
experience that includes movies, music and interactive theater seats. Visteon
will debut the MACH multimedia collection at Convergence 2000, which runs from
October 16 to 18 at Cobo Center in Detroit.
"The MACH family of products provides consumers with an integrated, high-
quality, in-vehicle entertainment experience," said Jim Wynalek, vice
president and general manager of Visteon's Telematics/Multimedia business
system. "MACH is the in-vehicle entertainment brand of the future --
designed, developed, and manufactured to meet the needs of both drivers and
passengers alike."
Through market research, Visteon learned that consumers want high-quality
entertainment systems integrated into their vehicle, rather than sold
separately. With the MACH portfolio of products, consumers have the benefit
of Visteon's advanced multimedia products and technologies, as well as nearly
100 years of system integration and engineering expertise.
The MACH(R) family of products includes:
MACH 1000 Audio System is a high performance, high SPL (sound pressure
level) audio system that provides maximum dB value. Its loud, clean sound
with minimal distortion levels is available at a lower cost than
comparable systems.
MACH MP3 can recognize compressed audio and traditional CD formats, giving
drivers the ability to store and enjoy 10 hours of music on one CD. The
combination of compressed file playback and efficient memory storage
creates truly flexible audio, capable of downloading data and integrating
all sources of audio for use at home and in the car.
MACH Rear Seat Entertainment is the most advanced rear seat entertainment
system in the industry. The system brings the convenience and
entertainment of home electronics to the vehicle, allowing passengers in
the back seat to enjoy DVD movies and video games just like they do at
home.
MACH Rumble Seats merge Visteon's superior quality theater seat production
with advanced electronics. The result is seats that react to events
taking place on the screen, creating a three-dimensional experience that
can be seen, heard and felt.
