The product, currently in development, combines the performance and low-power

consumption of Intel XScale technology-based processors with SONICblue’s Emmy

award-winning ReplayTV platform. The pocket-sized device will allows users to

watch recorded television programs transferred from their SONICblue ReplayTV, as

well as play video, audio and photos transferred from a PC.

Intel will provide key technology building blocks, including Intel XScale

processors and advanced video codecs developed by Intel’s Emerging Platforms

Lab. Intel will also supply a reference implementation of a PVP device.

"Our customers have been saying for years that once they get a ReplayTV

they hate to watch TV any other way," says Dr Nikhil Balram, VP, Connected

Home Products, SONICblue Inc. "The next logical step for us was to create a

portable version so they could take ReplayTV with them wherever they go,"

adds he.

SONICblue’s PVP will house a large capacity hard drive and support multiple

audio and video formats, including native ReplayTV files. The SONICblue ReplayTV

PVP will also connect to a PC so that users can capture and play MP3 and

commercially available multimedia content acquired from the Internet.
