You can enjoy digital contents in your living room without having to burn discs or having to play it back on a DVD or CD player anymore. TViX HD plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal collection of DVDs in .ISO or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if they were running from the original DVDs (all original features included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind, Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.). TViX HD plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080i) and still images. Pre-recorded HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video contents taken by a HDVTM camcorder can be played back with the TViX HD on a high definition display. The TViX HD features a DVI connector and component, which will match the high resolution of HD level video contents. Using the latest EM8621 processor, TViX HD supports the latest multimedia formats (WMV9 & WMV HD) as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 , 5.0. Using the high definition DVI output, you can directly connect the TViX HD to your HDTV. TViX HD supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more dynamic sound quality. The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD's network and play the file from its original destination without having to copy it into the TViX first. We're supporting the file copy via LAN. With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives to further extend the storage capacity or transfer files from another USB device such as a thumb drive. You can also playback files from a digital camera, USB flash driver, USB flash card reader, or a MP3 player. ** For the further functions, please refer to following FAQ. http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/faq 5 1.2 Audio Player TViX HD can play a variety of audio files such as FLAC,MP3, Ogg Vorbis or WMA (Windows Media Audio) through the TV speaker and any other audio systems. You can listen to your favorite music files nonstop, by organizing a custom winamp playlist. Now you can enjoy music all day without changing CDs. You can watch picture slideshows with the option of background music (supports music slideshows using picture images). 1.3 External Storage If you connect to a USB 1.1 port, the TViX HD will work at USB 1.1 speed, so we strongly recommend that you use USB 2.0. It can be used as an external device to save video, audio, image files, data, program backups, etc. USB 2.0 enables TViX HD to become an external storage device which supports up to 480Mbps. It supports Plug & Play, so Windows will automatically recognize TViX HD. TViX M-4000S model is supporting the SATA hard disk and M-4000P model is supporting the PATA(General IDE) hard disk. If you connect the USB port when playing the TViX HD, the VFD will show as USB ON. When you disconnect the USB, you do not have to reboot the TViX HD for continuous use. If you are a Windows98SE user, you should download a USB storage driver from our website www.tvix.co.kr before you connect your TViX HD with your system. You do not need to install a driver in Windows ME/2000/XP. 6 1.4 Specifications Sigma Design EM8621 7 Alpha-Numeric Character 5 Digit Numeric Display Format :.wmv, .avi, .mpg, .vob, .mp4, .asf, .tp, .trp , .IFO, .ISO Main Chipset VFD Display Video Codec : MPEG 1 / 2 / 4, AVI, XVID Resolutions up to 1920 x 1080i,1080P MP3, WMA, AAC, Ogg, PCM, M4A, FLAC, WAV Audio AC3, DTS Pass Through and Down Mixing Photo JPG USB2.0 Host 2 Ports USB2.0 Target 1 Port LAN (10/100Mbps) Video AV In / Out DVI, Component, S-Video, Composite, Audio Digital : Coaxial, Optical / Analog: Stereo File Formats Subtitle Hard Disk Connectivity NTFS, FAT32 Text Subtitle : smi,sub,srt,aqt,utf,lrc / Image Subtitle : sub (with idx) TViX HD M-4000S : SATA TViX HD M-4000P : PATA(IDE) ODD Support Language FAN FAN Control Flash ROM Internal Power Size Through USB 2.0 Host English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Japanese, Korean 40mm Brushless FAN Temperature Sensing, Variable Speed 8 Mbyte 90~250V Free Voltage, , 50/60Hz, 50W 183x139x75 mm 1.3Kg (HDD included) Weight 7 2 Name of Each Part 2.1 Control Panel Basic functions can be done without the remote control. 2.2 Cable Connection USB OPTICAL USB HOST LAN You can connect the TViX to a TV display or audio Amplifier using the A/V cable.
