The pPVR can access content in one of three ways:
i. Conventionally via its USB port, images, audio files, movies etc can be transferred from a PC
ii. By direct connection to an audio or composite / S-VHS video source using the units inbuilt MPEG encoder
iii. By direct digital connection to a dedicated Digifusion set top box or Digital Video recorder.
Featuring both MPEG 2 and MPEG4 playback, plus MP3 and WM9 audio support, the pPVR`s integral 20 GB hard drive enables storage of up to 40 hours of video programming. With a built-in, back-lit LCD display, the Digifusion pPVR is a portable media centre which can be used whilst travelling or at home through a home entertainment system, It allows users to watch their favourite TV programmes or listen to their favourite music wherever they are.
Unlike any similar portable products currently available which are PC-centric, the Digifusion PPVR is able to interface with content without the need for a PC.
Downloading content from the internet and other sources is now an established method of acquiring audio and video files. The already buoyant market for personal players is set to rise dramatically in the next few years and is likely to be fuelled even further with the introduction of personal entertainment centres such as the highly versatile Digifusion pPVR.
