ViewSonic launches HD media player
California: ViewSonic introduced the VMP70 direct-connect, media player, which makes it easier to enjoy full high definition (HD) 1080p content on a TV or other entertainment system display. "We believe in enhancing the entertainment experience in a way that is both convenient and user intuitive," said Jeff Volpe, Vice President and General Manager of ViewSonic North America. "With more compatible media formats than any other media player on the market, we are confident that our portable media box provides consumers the freedom to enjoy HD multimedia content on their favorite HDTV without limitation." By inserting a USB drive or external hard drive into the player, users can enjoy their favorite output content, including HD movies with optional subtitles, TV shows, music and photo albums. Weighing less than one pound, this device can easily be brought along when visiting friends or family, making any digital library portable. Unlike some direct-connect media players, the VMP70 features a S/PDIF port, enabling the player to connect to even the most advanced home theater systems for a surround sound experience. A remote control is included for making easy adjustments to aspect ratio, audio and format settings. The VMP70 also ships with an HDMI cable standard in every box. The VMP70 supports video and audio formats such as MPEG1/2/4, Divx/Xvid, MKV, H.264, VC-1, WMV9, RM/RMVB, DTS, Dolby Digital, WMA, MP3, FLAC, OGG and MKA to name a few. VMP70's has connectivity options such as HDMI, Component, composite, S/PDIF and duo USB drive slots for optional increased storage space. The ViewSonic VMP70 is now available for $129.99 with a promotional holiday offer of $98.99.
