Thanks to the HDTV tuner, CI interface and hard disk, the reception of digital television including HDTV as well as the transfer and playback of many digital image and sound formats is child’s play. Modern peripheral devices such as external hard disks, memory sticks or digital cameras can be connected directly via USB. Extensive photo archives, MP3 collections or TV highlights in high-resolution quality find sufficient space on 160/320 GB.
HD twin-tuner technology makes it possible to watch one programme while recording up to 4 HD or SD broadcasts at the same time. An excellently designed electronic programme guide from tvtv and the familiar easy HUMAX menu ensure clarity and quick operation. With the integrated SD-HD upscaler, broadcasts transmitted in standard format are also scaled to HD level and displayed in brilliant quality.
“With the HUMAX iCord HD, viewers can fully exploit the variety of multimedia possibilities”, explains Franz Simais, managing director of HUMAX-Digital GmbH. “Digital television and even HDTV, whether free-to-air or encrypted, can be recorded onto an integrated hard disk with the multimedia expert, clearly archived and watched time-shifted. The particularly low energy consumption of approx. 1 watt in standby protects the environment and the wallet. That is future-proofing, pure television enjoyment and the simplest digital home cinema solution since receivers have existed.”
The HUMAX iCord HD is available in shops at an RRP of 499 euros (160 GB) or 599 euros (320 GB).
