HAVA Titanium HD

Okay, Okay, I know we seem to love HAVA here, but we thought we’d let you know about the HAVA Titanium we mentioned in a pervious post. The HAVA Titanium HD WiFi (to use its proper name) allows you to stream HD video to your TV via a super-fast 802.11n connection.

The device basically works by streaming HD video through over your WiFi system to the dongles plugged into all your receivers (TVs and what have you). If you so wish, you can back away the box and take it with you on your travels (potential SlingBox killer?) – wherever there’s an internet connection you can watch your TV shows from home via a wide range of media, including mobile phones, and can stream simultaneously to multiple receivers, as with most of these cool HAVA items.

Flip MinoHD

Flip MinoHD

Huge camcorders are a thing of the past, but now so are HD camcorders. Flip MinoHD presents what they claim is ‘the world’s smallest high definition camcorder’ – just take a look at the photo and see how it compares with the size of the USB connector on the end!

The Flip MinoHD records in full HD 720p and has enough built in memory for 60 minutes of recording (4Gb), but it doesn’t allow for memory expansion. Installation isn’t necessary either, as Flip have designed their very own system known as ‘FlipShare’ which automatically loads the files onto your computer when you plug it in, without the need for lengthy drive installation. For people wanting to upload directly to Youtube HD, it supports one-click uploading to there, Myspace or even via email to your friends – simple drag-and-drop video editing is also included. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come (we hope!).

PCTV HD Mini Stick

PCTV Mini Stick

The PCTV HD Mini Stick is an amazingly compact innovation to allow you to watch HD TV on your computer. Perhaps most suited to stylish laptops with its sleek styling, it will really complement your multimedia set-up and take your computer to the next level.

Even if you don’t live in an area that has a strong TV signal, you should find that this device picks it up nicely with its integrated signal booster, and then allows you to watch it in full screen or via scalable window, if you’ve got something else to keep your eyes on. But watching TV isn’t all that this little stick is capable of; you can also record your favorite shows with the built-in recorder, and then transfer them easily to your hard drive or DVD.

Finally, the device has a built in video-editing suite that allows you to edit what you’ve recorded, and even has a one-click upload service to get it onto YouTube. What are you waiting for?!

JVC puts up 1st HD display in Times Square, NY

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Miscellaneous / By /

In NYC this holiday season? Then check out JVC’s brand new 720p high def billboard display. The screen with its 1.2 million LEDs has a mere 8mm pixel pitch (space between the pixels), and measures 34′ and 19′. At a resolution of 1280×720, that means each pixel measures approximately 1/3″ wide.

Head to Times Square, would ya and let us know if this thing is as clear as we’re imagining it is. 😉

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day / By /

TiVo has a new HD DVR box – the HD XL that boasts a capacity of 150 hours (about 1 terabyte (TB)) of High Def recording. The HD XL also sports a tri-tuner that lets you record 2 HD channels while watching a 3rd live.

As far as HD support goes, the XL supports 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i, as well as native and hybrid modes, and of course HDMI out.

And since you’ll need a TiVo subscription to get the channel guide info, you will get features such as being able to control your TiVo from anywhere on the Net, transfer shows between TiVos on your home network, save shows on your computer, iPod or even your PSP.

This just scratches the surface of the feature set, so be sure to check out the full list.

Gimme!
