AVeL Link Plyer “AVLP1/DVD”

Use with your PC instead of a HDD Recorder, ネットワークリンクプレーヤ very useful, I tried a trial Plyer AVeL Link “AVLP1/DVD”.

You can watch TV via TV recorded in the computer and network connected to “AVLP1/DVD”. And provide a dedicated NAS without starting the PC can be to play, such as video data stored on the NAS.

Telepath, book says? Revelation that HDD Recorder?

If a Telepath with replay TV, you can play it clean video cards with pin’s video isn’t. Cooperation with EPG electronic program table Imaichi, can easily recording HDD Recorder, good compatibility with the TV is using conveniently, PC-like features, such as exporting to DVD and editing recordings after that part will be inferior.

Would recommend there is cooperation between PC and ネットワークリンクプレーヤ. TV recorded in the computer, via network connect and link player. Shared folders and the PC-side installation of specialized higher and saved image file, such as from the ネットワークリンクプレーヤ folder. Is the condition of the playing, select files that are stored there.

Network link player, setting is almost finished and equipped with broadband router, and DHCP servers are running simply to connect LAN cable. If you set the manual rather than automatic, you can do remote network settings. Just watch TV or videos useful as no DHCP server is provided by remote control, so you are not familiar with LAN may lose settings. Read the terms carefully, seen together documentation such as a router might be good.

Set the stage, this remote is pretty inconvenient. For example, suppose you need to access the shared folder for the user name and password into. Remote control has a numeric keypad (the part saying the numbers zero through 10) alphabet and pseudonym. Press numeric keys similar to mobile phone several times a, b, c… and enter by switches. And key figures only. Looks from the user name can be entered, because passwords are not visible very insecure about it. I said do not set the password on the PC side is doubtful. It is at least want to stamp alphabet.

Play video data, such as from a PC on the LAN, NAS

Where actually using my home network link player, was very well received. Putting computer power became just one of the problems that have to do. TV living room, laptop study, of so no different place so loud, that the day I turn on I hated it. ネットワークリンクプレーヤ has features which energizes the PC to connect to a directive from the network. (WOL:Wake on LAN) seems somewhat inconvenient doesn’t need this turned always slow to start. Would recommend there is a specialized “NAS”.

This uses the “HDL series” we let the article recently. Will guests can be up-to-date and then reboot into HDL series firmware link play view contents of the HDL series. However, constraints and slightly on this, does not exceed the 2 GB file size, that is. So image is over 1 GB in 30 minutes in DVD-quality MPEG-2, cannot be of much higher resolution files. Or it might be nice to re-encoding to Div-X also Div-X playback, such as possible, so more compressed in.

It provides beyond regular wired LAN and wireless LAN available PC card slot. And plugs into memory card slot on the retrieved files, you can play. Same set here only the eye-o-data equipment of wireless LAN card, you can do file sharing, etc. However, and is also, IEEE802.11b, so big size files, transfer speed is missed picture would thus anyway.
