Gefen's Hi-Def PVR Exports to Flash Drives

January 10th, 2007

Personal Video Recorders are nothing new, but PVRs that record straight to USB Mass Storage devices are, and there's no denying our love for watching TV on our laptops after a long day of road tripping. Gefen's new PVRs are perfect for such situations, able to record from satellite television or camcorders, and export the video in MPEG-4 format to a wide variety of destinations including SD Cards and flash drives for viewing on any PC. Still undergoing final changes, two PVRs are slated for release in late February, a low definition version (top-left) and a high definition version(right) capable of handling 1080p complete with HDMI outputs. While the HD version shown in the picture does not have a USB port, Gefen has told us that it is highly likely that it will be implemented before shipping.
