SavitMicro cineDISK CD36HD Media Streaming Box

news_cinedisk_hd_full.jpg

So there is yet another all in one video/audio/image streaming box out in the wild and we are very impressed by what we have read so far. This one comes out of Korea from a company called SavitMicro and by looking at the specs it seems they threw everything they could find into it.

For starters this it will act as a central file sever utilizing a watered down version of a NAS called NDAS. It also comes equipped with a USB connection so you can hook it directly to your computer for file transfers.

The next thing it offers puts it in the same league as the Mvix 760HD and the Tvix m5100sh among others. It is a full fledged streaming media box with a ton of connections and output options.

SavitMicro has added a ton of different connection options for hooking this up to your TV.

Video Connection

  • DVI-D
  • Component
  • S-Video
  • Composite

Audio Connection
  • Optical
  • Digital Coax
  • Stereo RCA
  • Standard RCA

To note here is yet another multi-function streaming media box made in Asia that offers no HDMI support. We can't say that we are too upset about it, but its just interesting to us, thats all. Even without the HDMI it still can output at 1080p so there is no real loss.

As for what types of media it will actual play here is a quick rundown:

Video

  • WMV9
  • WMV HD
  • DivX
  • Xvid
  • MPEG 1/2
  • ISO
  • VOB

Audio
  • MP3
  • OGG
  • WMA
  • AC3
  • DTS

Photo
  • JPEG
  • PNG

There is internal storage for one SATA hard drive and you can stream directly off of your computer. There is no mention that we could see so far as to how you actual stream from your PC and if you can do it via the wireless connection or not.

This cineDISK CD36HD is a fully loaded media streamer that looks like it would make a great addition to the already fine group of competitors.

There isn't a ton of info yet available for this device, but you can be sure that once we find some more we'll be sure to update you.
