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
the original features are included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward,
Rewind, Pause, Repeat, Search etc.).
TVX-HD can play high-definition videos (up to 1920x1080P) and still images. Pre-recorded
HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video contents recorded

TVX-HD features an HDMI connector, which will match the high resolution of HD-level
video contents.

wired/wireless network and play the file from its original location without having to copy it
into the TVX-HD first. Also, TVX-HD’s FTP server and Samba server allow you to transfer
files from your PC . It also allows you to connect to network easily with uPnP support, and
