StorVision Press Release

StorVision has announced the availability of the StorVision miniVCR TV Recorder, a compact low cost solution to record videos suitable to be played on handheld viewing devices such as the Sony PSP, Nintendo GameBoy Micro, or the iPod Viewer. The miniVCR enables you to record directly from your television onto a memory card, which you can then simply place in your Sony PSP gaming console and watch the recorded programme of your choice. This means that you can record onto Memory Stick™ Pro Duo Gaming edition and Compactflash/Microdrive memory cards (other type of flash cards via an optional adapter).

With the MPEG4 personal video recorder you can store your favorite movies onto a memory card and watch it anywhere.

Any programme which is shown on TV can be recorded onto the memory card; classic movies, your favorite soaps, football matches, etc…

Equipped with two memory card slots, the miniVCR accepts Memory Stick Pro Duo for Sony PSP, Compactflash / Hitachi Microdrives, or any other type of memory card via an optional Compactflash 5in1 adapter. The miniVCR records under digital MPEG-4 (ISO simple profile) video format to the inserted memory card.

Simply connect the miniVCR to your TV or satellite set up box using the supplied Audio/Video composite cables (you may need a SCART adapter), and record via the supplied remote control your favorite TV programmes and movies. The remote control will also give you the controls to play / pause / rewind / fast forward your stored videos. Both NTSC and PAL TV standards are supported. It also has a convenient timer for recording along with an enhanced interface for quick timer setup, auto record and scheduled recordings, which means that you will never miss what you want to watch.

The encoder can handle video content in both QVGA (320x240) and 368x208 pixel resolution (16:9 screen ratio) for the Sony PSP and in VGA (640x480) for other uses.

The miniVCR combines an MPEG4 movie player, MP3 music player and JPEG photo viewer in the same compact unit. You can use the miniVCR to play MP3 music through your TV, view photos stored on your memory card, giving you the ability to share various types of media easily.
