WD has introduced the WD TV Live HD media player featuring network capability and Full-HD 1080p resolution. The new WD TV Live HD media player makes it easy for anyone to play HD (high definition) videos stored on USB and network drives, as well as Internet content from popular Web sites, onto their HD television. Building on the success of the WD TV HD media player, the WD TV Live HD media player offers a new, more responsive interface to help consumers enjoy a world of digital content without a computer.
The network capability of the WD TV Live media player enables users to stream or transfer movies from PC or Mac computers or a network-attached storage device such as WD’s My Book World Edition and WD ShareSpace network drives to their HD TVs. The WD TV Live media player also allows users to stream rich content from YouTube, Flickr and Pandora. The HD onscreen menu brings together all of the users’ available media in an elegant and simple-to-navigate interface.
“The media enthusiast community has embraced the first WD TV HD media player and given us tremendous feedback,” said Sharad Srivastava, Director, Director India and South Asia, Western Digital. “With the new WD TV Live media player we’re giving them what they asked for, network connectivity and Internet-content streaming capabilities and offering them a simple way to enjoy all of their digital media and enjoy it on their HD TVs.”
