The Missing Link: Iomega Debuts New Screenplay TV Link

 Affordable Device Makes It Easy to Take Digital Media Collections From the

                        Computer to the Living Room



    SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- Iomega, an EMC company (NYSE: EMC)

and a global leader in data protection and security, today announced the

new Iomega(R) ScreenPlay(TM) TV Link, making it convenient and affordable

to access multimedia content on any high-definition television or home

theater system. Complete with full-function remote control, the new

ScreenPlay TV Link features an easy-to-use USB port for attaching

compatible storage devices and enjoying high quality movies, music and

photos from the best seat in the house.



    Smaller than a deck of playing cards, the new Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link

is based on the same display technology as Iomega's ScreenPlay HD

Multimedia drive, introduced in April 2008, and offers the same audio and

video quality with upscaling to high definition. While the ScreenPlay HD

Multimedia Drive features a fully-integrated 500GB hard drive solution,

this latest addition to the ScreenPlay product family gives users the

flexibility to connect their own USB external storage devices to the

ScreenPlay TV Link and play back the media content on an attached TV. The

result is an affordable, easy-to-use multi-media solution that can utilize

different storage devices when friends, family or co-workers drop by with a

media file to share. Compatible USB devices with the new ScreenPlay TV Link

include flash drives, hard drives, and Iomega's REV drives.



    "The ScreenPlay TV Link is an ultra-portable device that gives everyone

a seamless way to share family photos, play music, and enjoy videos," said

Loren Bryner, global product manager, Iomega Corporation. "The ScreenPlay

TV Link turns any TV or home theater into party central for computer-based

media content. There's no easier way to enjoy photos, music, or

downloadable movies."



    The portable ScreenPlay TV Link includes a remote control for easy

navigation as well as a full complement of advanced video outputs for

displaying high-resolution digital photos and video.



    "We've created a product that's fun, functional and so affordable that

it should be a 'must have' for anyone enjoying digital content today," said

Bryner. "Using the ScreenPlay TV link to bridge the computer world of

digital media files with the home theater world of high definition

television is a natural evolution of the family room and a great new option

in home entertainment."



    Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link Technical Description



    The ScreenPlay TV Link plays stored media content from USB storage

media such as flash drives, hard drives (NTFS or FAT32), and Iomega REV

drives.



    Video connection options include HDMI, component and composite video,

and a SCART adapter for use in international markets. Audio connection

options include composite RCA and coaxial S/PDIF. Using the HDMI or

component outputs, the user can choose video settings from 480p/720p/1080i

(720p and 1080i are achieved through upscaling). Supported media formats

include MP3, AC3 (Dolby(R) Digital Encoding), WAV, WMA, MPEG-1, MPEG-2

(AVI/VOB), MPEG-4 (AVI/DiVX 3.11, 4.x, 5.x/XViD) and JPEG.



    The ScreenPlay TV Link measures just 3.26"x3.07"x0.78" and weighs less

than 4 ounces, giving this multimedia powerhouse roughly the same

dimensions as a drink coaster.



    System Requirements



    The Iomega (R) ScreenPlay(TM) TV Link is compatible with standard

televisions and with high-definition televisions (720p and 1080i playback

is achieved through upscaling).

for $99.95. (Price is U.S. suggested retail.) The Iomega ScreenPlay TV Link

will be available in Europe later this month for 79 euro.
