Iomega this week announced the availability of three new digital media receivers in Europe, offering support for a wide range of digital standard and high definition video formats, access to online video content and integrated storage.
ScreenPlay Director HD Media Player
The new ScreenPlay Director HD Media Player offers full 1080p high definition playback (24fps) and up to 2TB of storage to save all your multimedia files. Multiple video formats are supported for playback including DIVX, H.264, WMV and MKV.

An ethernet port is fitted to allow connection to your home network for media streaming, and a wi-fi module is also available as an option. The player is DLNA compliant to enable compatibility with a wide range of devices including Windows 7 PCs, and Windows Home Servers running TwonkyMedia Server.
Online content is supplied by YouTube, Flickr, Shoutcast Internet radio, RSS feeds and podcasts. You can also configure the ScreenPlay Director to add other RSS feeds and podcasts. With three USB 2.0 ports onboard, you can attach other external storage devices, a camera, flash drives, or a WiFi adapter.
The 1TB model is available now for £179, with the 2TB coming in at £309.
ScreenPlay™ Plus HD Media Player
Next in line is the ScreenPlay™ Plus HD Media Player, which is available in 500GB and 1TB configurations for £119 and £129 respectively. This offers native 720p and 1080i high definition playback and can support formats including MP3, AC3 (Dolby® Digital Encoding), WAV, WMA, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (AVI-VOB), MPEG-4 (AVI/DivX/XViD) and JPEG.

Connection to your TV is courtesy of a HDMI connection, and a USB port is also provided for connecting additional storage and peripherals.
ScreenPlay TV Link Director
Finally, the ScreenPlay TV Link Director will be released next month, offering all of the features of the ScreenPlay Director HD Media Player without the storage (which would be my preferred option).

The TV Link Director looks thin enough to tuck away neatly in your TV cabinet, and is likely to cost in the region of £99 when released.
