Iomega ScreenPlay Devices Revealed

Tweet

Iomega has taken the cover off of their new line of digital media boxes. The ScreenPlay line will launch with two units that will enable you to wirelessly stream your media from the internet to your big televisions. The high-end model is the ScreenPlay Director HD while the entry-level model is the Screenplay TV Link Director.

The only difference between the two devices is that the Director HD model comes with an on-board 1TB hard drive, while the TV Link model is free of any on-board HDD. The devices will be able to play any video format you could possibly want, including DivX, H.264, WMV and MKV. For those seedy people who frequent torrent sites – the two devices will even be able to directly play DVD and Blu-Ray disc images.

In addition to your own movie files, the ScreenPlay devices can view YouTube videos, Flickr photos, and Shoutcast internet radio stations. An RSS reader (for reading TFTS, of course) and a podcast viewer are also included on the device. Unfortunately, no Netflix support although you can subscribe to VOD service CinemaNow if you want. If you’re interested, the 1TB-equipped Director HD will cost $250 while the smaller TV Link will cost $130. No information on a release date was available, currently.
