Eminent has outed its latest STB media player, the Eminent HD EM7195, a twin digital tuner model with USB 3.0 and network connectivity. Built around a pair of DVB-T Freeview tuners and Realtek's new RT1183 DD C+ chipset – reportedly allowing for faster UI and EPG navigation – the HD EM7195 can record two shows simultaneously as well as stream network content.
Ports include one USB 3.0 Device, for hooking up to a computer and dropping files onto a SATA HDD in the EM7195's internal bay, together with three USB host ports for external storage. There's also 10/100 ethernet, HDMI and a multi-format memory card reader.
Supported file types include MKV and H.264, though Eminent is yet to reveal a full list. It also gets a backlit remote control. No pricing, but the Eminent HD EM7195 is set to hit the UK come March 2011.
