Verbatim 500 GB Mediastation
Monday, October 13, 2008
You can call these as next-gen HDDs or multimedia hard drives offering upto 500GB of capacity. These drives enable users to easily store videos, photos, music and films and then play it back directly via the TV or an audio system.
Weighing just around a Kg, the MediaStation features a 3.5" SATA hard drive for smooth writing and reading of data. It can store upto 1,000 hours of video (Mpeg 4) or 6,300 hours of music (MP3) or 250,000 5-Megapixel photos. The multimedia drive can play back all popular video, audio and graphics formats, including MPEG4, DivX, MP3, WMA, WAV, Ogg Vorbis, JPEG and PNG. All connection cables required for this are available with the drive. The included composite and S-video connection cables ensure picture-perfect playback. The standard version of MediaStation offers a scaled resolution of 1080i. A USB 2.0 connection allows additional data media to be docked with the MediaStation Pro and content transferred or displayed directly onto TV.
In addition to all the features of MediaStation, the MediaStation Pro version offers a WLAN connection with the help of which data from the PC can not only be transferred conveniently to the MediaStation Pro, but can also be played back directly in real time on the TV.
Both MediaStation and MediaStation Pro will be available by November '08 at an MSRP of Rs 15,000.
