Israel’s finest AV supplier, HDi, has been showing off its range of BitTorrent enabled Blu-ray players at CES, and the specs and file support are frankly ridiculous. Get the low down on HDi’s P2P players after the break.
Panasonic has already shown off its Blu-ray-cum-VHS player at the Las vegas tradeshow, but the little known HDi has come out with a high-def set top box mash up we’d actually pay money for. The range of Blu-ray players (The HD Center, the Dune BD Prime, HD Base) all chuck out 1080p visuals and offer crazy video support for everything from DivX to MKV files. We don’t even know what those are, but we’ll take them.
The range includes BD Live support for that extra interactive shizzle, but it’s the potential for sharing HD content (legally, we might add. Don’t fileshare intellectual property, kids) via onboard Wi-Fi that’s got us all hot and flustered – there’s space for you to insert a hard drive to store it all on. No distributors yet but with any luck that’ll change shortly.
