Arriving from France are two additions to LaCie’s range of Neil Poulton’s hardware designs, this time in the form of a HD digital media player, and recorder named the LaCinema Black Play and LaCinema Black Record.

Access to PC or Mac is achieved via a uPnP (powered by TwonkyMedia Server) connection to allow streaming of music and video on the device with the ability to decode at 1080p. 1080i upscaling of standard definition content is also featured.

The LaCinema Black Record adds DVR capabilities allowing the recording, pausing and playback of Live TV, with the support of a set-top box.

A wide range ofideo formats are supported including MPEG-1, MPEG-2 / HD, MPEG-4, DIVX, XVID, H.264 HD, WMV9 HD, AVI, MPG, MP4, MKV, WMV, MOV, ISO, VOB, IFO, ASF, TS, TP, TRP, M2TS. Audio includes MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, AC3, MP4, WAV/LPCM and images JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIF.

The LaCinema Black PLAY and RECORD are available starting at 500GB, at a pretty hefty price of $429.99 – for that you get a great looking piece of kit, let’s hope the user experience is as sharp.

    @Skinner not sure but by definition isn’t 720×576p what MPEG2-TS should reach?

    What happened to the new comment system?

    New comment system was paused whilst we did a bit of site admin work in the week. It's now back. It slows down the loading time of the site as it pulls in the comments from another server – let me know if you think loading times are an issue (invitiation to all!)

    Is it just me, or does this share some similarities with the hp MediaSmart Connector x280n?
