The NP-H1 is basically a miniPC with the Haswell intel chipset. NTEK is listing it as using the B85 chipset. Motherboards now have the newer intel chipset the Z87.

If you bought one of the mini pc's from amazon with these integrated chipset....choose a i5 processor or better....you could be up and streaming in no time in 4K. You just need a 4K TV or monitor. You don't need special software. Just choose the correct resolution like you do on your home PC already. The HDMI included is the 1.4 and will be limited by 30Hz. Of course the B85 can't go past 24Hz. The PC port (non HDMI) doesn't have that Hz limitation.

That NP-H1 I can't see ever being a selling product in the end user department. NTEK has it as commercial.

The NP-1 however.....is a game of time.... Tablets already have the nVidia tegra 4 like the HP Slate. They stream easily and have the hardware for HD....but I notice they aren't advertising as such yet. Knowing.....you just need the slimPort to hook that tablet to the 4K TV.

I will be impressed if NTEK can be at CES with NO OTHER stream 4k Device. You know the 4K smart TV's will be all over the place. NTEK needs the edge in cost/performance...to make a go. Excited to see what happens
