Buffalo has just announced its latest generation LinkTheater series LT-V200 which is basically a suped up multi-format capable media player for the lounge, featuring an internal SATA port to add in a HDD alongside the USB connectivity (in the form of a couple USB 2.0 ports; one on the front and one at the rear) that allows it to work as a DLNA-compliant NAS server.
The unit also features an SD card slot and can connect to a network over 10/100 Ethernet. In terms of format support, almost all popular formats will work including MPEG-1/2 and WMV9, Mpeg-4 AVC/H.264, DivX, Divx HD, FLV and Real Video. Audio support is also extensive with formats such as AAC, MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, FLAC, Real Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS being recognized. Another cool function of the LT-V200 is "Remote Play" which allows it to stream media wirelessly to iOS and Android devices. In terms of outputs, these include HDMI, S/PDIF (both Toslink and Coaxial) and also Component.
The unit is said to start selling on the Japanese market in early Feb at about 14,000 Yen ($183 US).Source: Akihabara News
