Loewe introduces Connect TVs in both 32in and 42in that’ll « connect » to all your multimedia devices!
An integrated PhotoViewer enables users to present digital JPEG photos as a slide show in full 1920 × 1080 HDTV splendour while music can be played from USB devices
Alongside the connections the Loewe Connect also features a VGA port for PCs – PCs with a DVI port can be connected to one of the device’s two HDMI ports.
A module slot with a standard interface (CI) enables easy reception of encrypted Pay-TV channels, without the need for an additional set-top box. And, last but not least, a satellite receiver can be optionally installed or retrofitted.
The new Connect Media has an Ethernet interface for wired networking and also features a WLAN module allowing it to be connected to a Media Server PC or a network storage unit without the need for any cables.
The Connect Media DR+ features an integrated hard disk recorder capable of recording HDTV programs.
Loewe Connect was shown at IFA 2007 in three housing colours (white, grey, black) and initially three sizes: 37-inch, 42-inch and a compact 32-inch model for smaller living rooms and apartments.
Pricing and availability to be confirmed.
