PLDS (Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions), la joint venture tra Royal Philips Electronics e Lite-On IT, ha prodotto un nuovo drive per supporti Blu-ray. Si tratta del player interno iHOS104, che è stato commercializzato con l'ausilio del brand di Lite-On, unitamente al software TrueTheater HD di CyberLink, al fine di garantire la riproduzione su ottimi livelli dei filmati in High Definition.

iHOS104, mediante una interfaccia verso il mondo di tipo Serial ATA, legge i dati dai dischi Blu-ray con una velocità massima pari a 4X, dai DVD con velocità massima di 8X e dai CD con velocità massima di 32X.

Il punto di forza di questo drive è senza dubbio l'MSRP, pari a $69.99, il che rende l'iHOS104 una delle migliori soluzioni in commercio in termini di rapporto qualità/prezzo, capace di offrire ai sistemi mainstream per costo e prestazioni il playback HD. La versione esterna sarà immessa nel mercato nella parte finale dell'anno corrente.

Fremont, CA – June 2, 2009 – Lite-On (www.liteonit.com), a global leader of optical storage solutions, announces the iHOS104, a new low-cost 4X Internal BD-ROM drive that comes standard with CyberLink’s TrueTheater HD software.

Providing users the latest in high-quality movie playback, CyberLink’s TrueTheater HD technology turns standard content into HD-quality images. At a cost significantly under $100, the iHOS104 is an affordable and convenient way for consumers to enhance their movie viewing.

"Having Cyberlink’s TrueTheater HD technology included in the new iHOS104 will make it easy for consumers to upgrade their system and enjoy High-Definition content playback within their budgets."

CyberLink’s video up-scaling technology can convert video resolution from 480p to 1080p, making standard-definition content played on HD screens appear to be as detailed and sharp as high-resolution video. TrueTheater HD is the ideal solution for watching standard DVD videos in full-screen sizes on large displays or via projectors.

The iHOS104 also incorporates the latest industry standard Serial ATA interface which provides better performance and compatibility.  It reads Blu-ray disc media at 4X maximum, DVD media at 8X maximum and CD media at32X maximum. The iHOS104 is now available for $69.99 MSRP and an external model is expected to launch later in the year. For more product information, please visit www.liteonit.com.
