  • PRESS RELEASE

Verbatim has launched the MediaStation HD DVR, a multimedia hard drive that records and plays content directly from TVs, cable/satellite set-top boxes, DVDs or VHS players. Offering high definition video playback and streaming capabilities from home networks, the MediaStation HD DVR provides a central entertainment device for the home to record, store and play video, photos and music.

These models are now available in retail stores i.e. Carrefour, Panda, Lulu & Emax. Verbatim's authorised distributors in the UAE are Mix Max Trading and Despec.

Easy, Convenient Recording and Copying

With its built-in DVB-T receiver for digital terrestrial TV combined with its recording capabilities, Verbatim's MediaStation can record directly from your TV, DVD or VHS player. Its 1 TB of storage space provides room for up to 500 hours of recordings, 1,420 videos, 330,000 music tracks or 1,000,000 photos. It can also record directly to and from a memory card (SD, SHDC and Memory Stick), USB drive or external hard disk drive.

Recordings can be programmed via the electronic programme guide (EPG), and favourite TV programmes can be paused and rewound using its time-shift functionality. The 'One Touch' buttons on the front of the drive make it very quick and easy to record programmes and to copy photos to the MediaStation's hard drive.

High Definition Playback

The MediaStation HD DVR plays stored content on the TV in high definition (1,080i resolution) and can show HD JPEG photos and up-scale standard definition movies to 1080i.

Access and play all media content from your home network

The device supports WLAN, which means it can be linked with ease to the user's home network. This makes it the ideal partner to a NAS drive, on which all multimedia content can be stored.

The MediaStation HD DVR includes 'Nero Move It Essentials' software, which enables files to be converted automatically and transferred from one device to another for immediate playback.
