LaCie unveil LaCinema Classic HD media player and server
The LaCinema Black Max looks utterly stunning and when it’s all hooked up to the other requisite pieces of kit it performs most impressively. Described to be the most versatile multimedia drive, in addition to audio, photo, and video management features, the Black MAX offers digital video recording and home networking technology. The wirelessly connected Black MAX can stream media to an HD television from a media server, a computer or NAS drive while the USB ports mean devices can be connected directly. It features the ability to decode 1080p movies, the device offers 1080i up scaling of standard definition movies and offers time shifting, allowing users to pause, rewind, or record programs claiming an easy-to-use interface to do so.
LaCie are set to launch the LaCinema Classic HD media player and server.
Acting as a DLNA server to sync up all your media collections from PCs and games consoles, the LaCinema Classic HD lets you hook up your media content to any HD ready TV around the house via HDMI.
Boasting a 2TB hard-drive, the LaCinema HD has plenty of storage available to house 1080p video content, which is fully compatible with the player. USB support makes shifting content from one device to another simple too.
If you’re looking to use the LaCinema Classic predominately for video, LaCie have you covered. All the most popular file formats and plug-ins will be supported, from DivX to high-quality MKV H.264.
Salem Tirane, Digital Home Product Manager said of the product, “LaCinema Classic HD is all you need to store, play and share your movies, music and photos at home. We believe organising and playing should be simple for everyone, without concern for media compatibility or how to access media, no matter where it’s stored in your home”.
The LaCinema Classic HD is set to feature some pretty attractive functions by the looks of things. Giving change back out of £200, it’s not too badly priced either.
