Nuon

Nuon is a technology that adds additional features to a DVD player. In addition to viewing DVDs, one can play 3D video games, use enhanced DVD navigation tools, gain access to some DVD-ROM features that would normally be only available via a personal computer, play CDs while the Nuon graphics processor generates synchronised graphics on your monitor, and more. There are plans to provide Internet access capability in the next generation of Nuon-equipped DVD players. The games offered were simplistic and few. The graphics capabilities place Nuon games somewhere between Nintendo 64- and PlayStation-level graphics. The graphics were outdated when it was released as the Dreamcast had been released several months earlier, and gamers were already looking forward to the PlayStation 2 to be released the next year. Nuon was used in two Samsung DVD-N501 & DVD-N2000 models and a Toshiba DVD player. However the format has appeared to have died off. As of November 2004, there are no Nuon enabled DVD players shipping and no new Nuon software titles. Peripherals for Nuon-enhanced DVD players included the following:
  • Logitech Gamepad
  • Pro-elite controller
  • Stealth controller
  • Warrior Digital-D pad
  • extension cable to extend the length of a controller
  • a port replicator to move the Nuon ports to anywhere desired
