Western Digital, one of the world's leading vendors of storage solutions, has recently announced the introduction of the new version of its popular WD TV media player, a product specifically designed for multimedia enthusiasts. According to the company, the new version can now provide users with support for playback of RealNetwork's RealVideo content and provides for a more affordable solution for users wanting to store and play HD video content on their HD television.

“For those who desire an easy, affordable and portable solution to enjoy their digital media on their TV and who have content in RealVideo format, the new WD TV Mini Media Player fits the bill,” Dale Pistilli, vice president of marketing for WD's Branded Products Group, said. “The new WD TV Mini Media Player unlocks the content from their PCs and storage devices and makes it simple for people to enjoy their media on their home theater system, without the need to spend time configuring a complicated device or transcoding files to make them compatible.”

A bit smaller than a traditional 2.5-inch hard disk drive, the WD TV Mini media player has been designed to provide support for a wide variety of media formats, providing the end user with support for a complete and high-quality multimedia experience. Easily upgradable, the multimedia solution allows users to choose the storage capacity that they want to take advantage of, while the traditional USB 2.0 connecting interface allows the device to be easily connected to the user's computer system. Additional features include the component and composite video output, alongside the digital audio output delivered via SPDIF.

Backed by a one-year limited warranty, the new WD TV Mini Media Player is already available at select retailers for a manufacturer's suggest retail price of US$99.99.
