Western Digital has introduced WD TV Live Hub media center, a Full-HD 1080p media player with a 1TB built-in network hard drive that gives users the freedom to play all their personal media on any screen in the home. The WD TV Live Hub media center brings new experiences to the WD TV family, which include interacting with personal Facebook communities.
WD TV Live Hub plays a wide variety of media file types, including popular Full-HD 1080p video formats such as .mkv, .mp4 and .mov. The integrated, compact and quiet 1TB hard drive enables users to centralize their digital media from multiple sources for smooth, glitch-free playback of even the highest resolution videos. Digital media can be easily transferred to the internal drive from shared folders on PCs and Macs on the network or directly from external hard drives, thumb drives, camcorders or cameras connected via one of the two USB ports. Users also can stream videos from home network drives with a DLNA/UPnP server such as the My Book Live Home Network Drive.
WD TV Live Hub also is a media server: the HD video, music and photos can be streamed from the onboard hard drive to any DLNA/UPnP-compatible TV or multimedia device, anywhere in the connected home, including WD TV Live HD media player, connected TVs, Blu-ray Disc players, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Users also can stream content from their WD TV Live Hub to iPads, iPhones or Android smartphones using third-party applications.
“The modern Indian household has a PC, a laptop, portable drives, a camcorder, broadband and a large amount of digital content stored on various other devices. A versatile, easy-to-use media player that allows them to stream personal or online content from other devices in their home can be an instant hit. That is exactly what the WD TV Live Hub media center delivers,” said Sushil Bandi, Country Manager -India, Western Digital.
