i-O Display Systems Unveils Palm-Sized DVR
January 15, 2004
Menlo Park, CA - i-O Display Systems has introduced a palm-sized digital video recorder (DVR), the Riviera Digital Video Recorder, that records and plays high-resolution digital video.
The Riviera can store up to 20 hours of films or television shows as well as photo images, music, or any other digital data, the manufacturer reports. Unique to the Riviera is a home docking station, making it as convenient to use at home as it is on the road. The recorded files are DVD compatible and the unit plays back MPEG1, MPEG2, MP3, VOB and JPEG file formats.
Riviera is based on a fully programmable media processor allowing the user to upgrade the software to support new file formats and add features such as dynamic video editing or special effects.
The Riviera weighs approximately eight ounces and has a storage capacity of 20 or 40 Gigabytes. It connects to a TV, DVD player, VCR or computer via USB 2.0 and supports RCA (composite) or S-Video. The docking station connects to your home entertainment system, allowing easy access to recording your favorite shows and other content. An optional Head Mounted Display unit with the high performance Z86D-3 Brillian Microdisplay technology is also offered.
The unit is available for pre-order only; it will ship sometime later in February or early March. Price: $579.95
