1 Introduction
1.1Multimedia Player
TViX HD is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player which plays digital videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD files to a TV display and home entertainment system. You can enjoy digital contents in your living room without having to burn discs or having to play it back on a DVD or CD player anymore.
TViX HD plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal collection of DVDs in .ISO or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if they were running from the original DVDs (all original features included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind, Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.).
TViX HD plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080P) and still images. Prerecorded HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video contents taken by a HDV™ camcorder can be played back with the TViX HD on a high definition display. The TViX HD features a HDMI connector and component, which will match the high resolution of HD level video contents.
Using the latest SMP8635 processor, TViX HD supports the latest multimedia formats MKV, MPEG-4 AVC(H.264), VC-1( MP@HL, AP@L3), WMV9 & WMV HD as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 , 5.0. H.264 is a brand-new and superb compression technology today. It makes you more stunning HD movie with lower storage capacity.
HDMI provides unparalleled qualities to digital video and audio, while DVI only serves digital video. You don’t have to mess around with several AV cables. It provides single, pure and simple way to connect your display. It can deliver uncompressed digital video up to 1080p as well as multi-channel digital audio.
TViX HD supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more dynamic sound quality.
The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD’s wired or wireless network and play the file from its original destination without having to copy it into the TViX first. We’re supporting the file copy via LAN.
With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives to further extend the storage capacity. You can also playback files from a digital camera, USB flash driver, USB flash card reader, or a MP3 player.
