Over at the Iomega booth today I took a look at the new Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link, Director Edition a $99 media streaming device that will playback music, video and photos from PCs, Macs and home servers on the network, as well as connected USB devices.
The TV Link connects via HDMI or composite video and can output 1080p high definition video – networking is provided courtesy of a Gigabit Ethernet socket as well as an in built wireless connection (802.11n).
Video format support is decent, although no mention of MKV support which would be a missing. But you do get:
Video: MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (AVI/VOB), MPEG-4 (AVI/DivX/XViD), h.264, WMV, AVCHD, VC-1
Audio: MP3, AC3 (Dolby Digital Encoding), WAV, OGG, WMA, AAC (non-DRM), FLAC
Photo: JPEG, BMP, GIF< PNG, TIFF
In the US, you’ll also find a deal with CinemaNow will allow you to buy/rent and download movies direct to the device. Will ship from the end of January.
