Quantum sees that opportunity........Quantum demonstrates new storage technology for consumer electronics applications Now what would SONY want to work on this for?<g> MILPITAS, Calif.-Quantum Corp. is conducting a demonstration of hard disk drive storage for consumer electronics A/V applications at the Western Show. In cooperation with Sony U.S. Research Laboratories, the company is developing storage technology that integrates the i.LINK (IEEE-1394) interface with Quantum's hard disk drives. Quantum's A/V hard disk drive technology incorporates direct isochronous recording that allows the HDD to record and play back digital video and audio as easily as a VCR; dual streaming for simultaneous recording and play back of video content; and plug-and-play compatibility with other consumer A/V devices across the i.LINK interface. By direct connection to i.LINK compatible consumer devices, Quantum's technology enables the following capabilities in the home entertainment center: instant replay of a scene; pausing a live broadcast program; jumping to a specific program or scene instantly; playing one program while recording another; and playing the beginning of a program that is still recording. I guess we can wait on voice over IP plays...... ANAHEIM-Three days of crammed exhibits and sessions replaced what is historically a hot show for news, perhaps showing that the hardware environment is poised to hand off to creative content providers. This year's Western Show served up pockets of news, with considerable momentum around in-home networking solutionsand interactive applications that run on advanced digital set-tops. The big hype machine? IP telephony, which was exhibited all over the Show floor despite open admissions by the vendor and MSO communities that the category is years away.
