HMC-1 media center

The Korean company HIDVAN is preparing a new media center with a host of high-end features, the DABODA HMC-1. While the company is not saying how much content the center can hold, it has the option of 3.5-inch IDE or SATA hard disks, and it is fully HD-capable, thanks to DVI, component and HDMI outputs, as well as a decoder good up to 1080p. Composite and S-Video ports are available as SD-only alternatives. Optical and co-axial 5.1 sound (including DTS) is supported, and two USB 2.0 ports allow media from portable players and hard drives. Most media is sourced through wired or wireless LAN connections.

The center further handles a large variety of file types: it can play AAC, MP3, OGG or WMA audio, and in terms of video, it supports everything from the MPEG-1, 2 and 4 codecs through to VOB, ISO, WMV files and more. The HMC-1 should launch in Korea during the month of September. [via Akihabara News]
