Streaming high definition content seems to be the new pink this year, so nobody should be surprised to see D-Link jump into the fray. The DSM-520 is a new member to the MediaLounge family of media streaming devices, the difference being that it plays back HD video in either Windows Media Video 9 or MPEG4 format, topping out at 1080i. The DSM-520 connects to an existing home network via Ethernet or 802.11g Wi-Fi. With HDMI, component, S-Video and composite video connections, the DSM-520 connects to just about every TV on the market. Besides, if your TV doesn’t support so much as composite inputs, are you really in the market for a $250 HD media streamer?

Called the "image constraint token," it threatens to lower the resolution to standard-definition quality if users try to output video in component format.
