CeBIT 2002 Part 1 - A/V Devices & More

A HDD/DVD player from LG

LG showed a HDD/DVD player on CeBIT, in a very stylish case:

It plays pre-recorded DVDs, SVCDs, CDs and MP3s. The size of the internal HDD is 40GB. The player supports time shifting (meaning you can start watching a movie while the end of it is still being recorded), and you can even play DVDs while recording something else. For recording, VBR (Variable Bitrate) technology is being used. Simple editing of the recorded program on the HDD, as well as typical VCR functions like fast forward/rewind, slow motion, etc. are also supported.

A DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) tuner from VideoLogic

VideoLogic also presented their DAB tuner on CeBIT. DAB is a new standard for high quality digital radio broadcast, which will replace FM radio in the long term.
