Iomega has recently unveiled their newest product, the ScreenPlay TV Link. Using the same technology as its previously released ScreenPlay HD Multimedia Drive, this device enables users to connect and play multimedia content from a USB hard drive on their standard or high-definition TVs using video outputs, HDMI, component and composite or SCART adapters. The ScreenPlay TV Link can also upscale video content to 720p and 1080i HD formats.

In addition, the ScreenPlay TV Link supports various audio and video formats such as MP3, AC3, WAV, WMA, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 using the most popular codecs. For image preview, the device supports only JPEG.

The ScreenPlay TV Link is now available and retails for around $100. The package comes with composite and component connection cables and a full-function remote control.

Iomega’s eGo external drive line has now hit 1 Terabyte of storage.  Entitled the “Super” eGo drive, the portable storage device contains one single 1 terabyte drive.  The drive’s physical size is also increased, as it is a 3.5 inch drive, as opposed to the normal 2.5 inch size portable hard drives have.  As a reference point, this thing can hold 1.5 thousand hours of video.  It comes in three colors: ruby red, midnight blue, or jet black.  However, the Super eGo only interfaces through USB 2.0, and with a drive of that size I would’ve liked to see a FireWire interface. You can pick one up now for $270.
