1 Introduction
1.1 Multimedia Player
TViX HD is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player which plays
digital videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD files to a
TV display and home entertainment system. You can enjoy digital
contents in your living room without having to burn discs or
having to play it back on a DVD or CD player anymore.
** For the further functions, please refer to following FAQ- http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/faq
TViX HD plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can
create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal collection of DVDs in .ISO
or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if they were running from the original DVDs (all
original features included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind,
Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.).
TViX HD plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080P) and still images. Pre-
recorded HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video contents
taken by a HDV™ camcorder can be played back with the TViX HD on a high definition
display. The TViX HD features a HDMI connector and component, which will match the
high resolution of HD level video contents.
Using the latest EM8623 processor, TViX HD supports the latest multimedia formats H.264,
WMV9 & WMV HD as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 , 5.0.
H.264 is a brand-new and superb compression technology today. It makes you more
stunning HD movie with lower storage capacity.
HDMI provides unparalleled qualities to digital video and audio, while DVI only serves
digital video. You don’t have to mess around with several AV cables. It provides single,
pure and simple way to connect your display. It can deliver uncompressed digital video up
to 1080p as well as multi-channel digital audio.
TViX HD supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more
dynamic sound quality.
The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able
to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD’s wired or wireless network and play the file from
its original destination without having to copy it into the TViX first. We’re supporting the file
copy via LAN.
With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives to
further extend the storage capacity. You can also playback files from a digital camera, USB
flash driver, USB flash card reader, or a MP3 player.

1.2 Audio Player
TViX HD can play a variety of audio files such as FLAC,MP3, Ipod M4A, Ogg Vorbis or WMA (Windows
Media Audio) through the TV speaker and any other audio systems. You can listen to your favorite music files
nonstop, by organizing a custom winamp playlist. Now you can enjoy music all day without changing CDs.
TViX supports the internet radio of shoutcast streaming format(.pls,.m3u).
You can watch picture slideshows with the option of background music (supports music slideshows using
picture images).
1.3 External Storage
If you connect to a USB 1.1 port, the TViX HD will work at USB 1.1 speed, so we strongly recommend that
you use USB 2.0.
It can be used as an external device to save video, audio, image files, data, program backups, etc.
USB 2.0 enables TViX HD to become an external storage device which supports up to 480Mbps.
It supports Plug & Play, so Windows will automatically recognize TViX HD.
If you connect the USB port when playing the TViX HD, the VFD will show as USB ON. When you
disconnect the USB, you do not have to reboot the TViX HD for continuous use.
If you are a Windows98SE user, you should download a USB storage driver from our website
www.tvix.co.kr before you connect your TViX HD with your system. You do not need to install a driver in
Windows ME/2000/XP.
You can download NetShare installer from our website www.tvix.co.kr/Eng before you configure NFS
network. If you select to NFS mode, you can play the TP or DVD jukebox without stutter.
