Iomega, an EMC company and a global leader in data protection, has launched a new family of ScreenPlay HD Media Player products, at the ongoing 6th annual Digital Consumer Channel Event in Fujairah.

The new family includes three different products with different features at different prices – something for everyone who want to enjoy their videos, photos, music and all of their digital content on the TV without being connected to the computer.

“As the world’s leader in HD media players, Iomega has changed the way consumers experience digital content on their home networks,” said Cizar Nazeeh Abughazaleh, regional sales manager, Middle East, Africa and Turkey, Iomega Corporation.

The products create a convenient link between the home network and the home theater, giving users an easy way to enjoy their digital content from the best seat in the house. Users simply store content on the ScreenPlay’s hard drive and then use an intuitive remote to play the content on their large screen TV.

The new ScreenPlay Director HD Media Player boasts full 1080p high definition playback (24fps) and up to 2TB of space to save all your multimedia files.  The ScreenPlay Director is DivX Home Theatre certified to play popular DivX video, as well as supporting many of today’s popular CODECs and file types, including H.264, WMV and MKV, as well as plenty of others.

The ScreenPlay Director is compatible with PCs and Macs, and has an Ethernet connection so you can store, access and share videos, photos and music across your home network or store all the files in one convenient location on the ScreenPlay Director.

The new ScreenPlay Director is DLNA compatible to interact with other compatible devices on your home network, and is WiFi ready so you can connect to your network wirelessly, if desired.

The ScreenPlay Director also includes a selection of popular online media pre-configured, such as YouTube, Flickr, Shoutcast Internet radio, RSS feeds and podcasts. You can also configure the ScreenPlay Director to add other RSS feeds and podcasts, making it a snap to customise the player with your choice of online content.

With three USB 2.0 ports onboard, you can attach other external storage devices, a camera, flash drives, or a WiFi adapter.-TradeArabia News Service
