Keep More of Your Favorite High-Definition Movies and TV Programs With the All-New Seagate(R) Showcase(TM) Video Library
Seagate and Motorola plan to introduce new video storage solutions for consumers
NEW ORLEANS, /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- THE CABLE SHOW '08 -- At NCTA's Cable Show, Seagate Technology (NYSE: STX) announced it will introduce its Seagate(R) Showcase(TM) storage solution, a new series of products that extends the storage capacity of your Digital Video Recorder (DVR), so you never have to say goodbye to your favorite movies and television shows. Seagate also announced that the Showcase family of products will be designed to be compatible with Motorola's market leading e-SATA capable high-definition (HD) digital video recorder (DVR) set-top portfolio.
The new Showcase(TM) products will provide television and movie fans with the ability to store even more shows, movies and sporting events. With initial capacities up to 1TB, consumers will be able to keep up to 200 hours of additional HD movies or 1,000 hours of additional standard definition television. You'll never have to choose between your kids' favorite shows or the big game. Plug-and-play capability, via standard USB 2.0 or eSATA connection, makes setup easy while the stylish design fits seamlessly into entertainment centers and complements the look of existing A/V equipment.
"Today's consumers are constantly demanding more storage for high-definition video and high-fidelity audio -- and they want it as part of their home entertainment system," said Patrick King, senior vice president of Seagate's Consumer Solutions Division. "We believe that the Seagate Showcase product line will take its place alongside the receiver, speaker system and television as a must-have component for the entertainment center. We are pleased to be working with Motorola to enable
an enjoyable consumer experience."
"As consumer video consumption continues to increase at exponential rates, Motorola strives to provide flexible and cost-effective solutions" commented Larry Robinson, vice president, Set Top Product Management at Motorola. "By demonstrating interoperability with the Seagate Showcase storage solution we are offering consumers additional compelling storage options for their entertainment content." The new Showcase family will feature Seagate's recently announced Pipeline HD(TM) Series of hard drives purpose-built for DVRs. Seagate Pipeline HD(TM) Series hard drives are the gold standard in high definition performance and capacity with
bedroom-quiet acoustics, low power operation and the ability to support up to 12 simultaneous HD streams. The drives are Windows Vista Certified, making them an ideal solution for Home Media Centers.
Seagate is working with Motorola, the leader in digital set-tops with over 73 million shipped, to deliver external storage solutions for DVRs. By connecting a Seagate Showcase product with its included eSATA cable, the capacity of these DVRs can instantly be increased -- eliminating the need to delete your favorite movies or shows. The 1TB Seagate Showcase drive can be seen exclusively in the Motorola booth # 1405 during The Cable Show '08 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
Availability
Seagate Showcase(TM) products are scheduled to be available for purchase on the Seagate website beginning in the third calendar quarter of 2008.
