Plextor Europe sent out a press release today, announcing a 500GB version of its pocket-sized PC-to-TV media player. Using the MediaX PX-MPM500U, consumers can take the photos, music and video stored on their PC and play them back on their TV at resolutions up to 720p.
An ideal Christmas gift, Plextor has grown the capacity of its hugely popular HD PC-to-TV mediaplayer to 500GB, but keeps its pocket-sized case for ultra portability. The Plextor MediaX PX-MPM500U, is capable of playing HD movies and music through your TV or hi-fi simply and easily. Rudy De Meirsman, Sales & Marketing Manager at Plextor, says: “We have only recently introduced our first pocket-sized MediaX and it has proved very popular with buyers across Europe – at 160 or 320GB. Now with 500GB it is even more appealing, especially in run-up to Christmas when it will make a fantastic present. They are ideal for transferring pictures or HD movies to your family TV.”
With Christmas fast approaching, the combined mediaplayer/ external HDD device makes an ideal gift for loved ones – perfect for taking your holiday photos and movie footage with you wherever you go.
The diminutive player also looks the part as it comes with funky interchangeable colour skins. At just 17.5mm thin (& 78mm wide), the tiny player is not much bigger than the smallest 2.5” portable HDD enclosures.
The PX-MPM500U Plextor MediaX units are developed from Plextor’s existing ranges – combining their expertise in pocket 2.5” HDDs with 3.5” HDD mediaplayers – and they really meet the need for portable and convenient devices with decent storage. With video upscaling to 720P (HD-Ready), the Plextor MediaX is a high performance drive with the ability to play a wide variety of file types.
