Interesting Tech: Brando Multi-Media Player Adapter

The good folks over at Gizmodo had a recent post about a cool new gadget that looks interesting for video makers: Brando’s SATA HDD Multi-Media Player Adapter.

The $69.00 device is a multimedia interface for SATA hard drives (Both 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch), SDHC cards, and USB devices, that displays your video files via composite, component, or HDMI out.

Simply plug in your naked hard drive or card, and any MPEG, AVI, MP4, VOB, or DiVX file, will be playable on your HDTV.

This seems like a great way to show off your HD videos to family and clients, that’s portable, inexpensive and doesn’t require burning a Blu-ray disc, or lugging your laptop around.

I can see a wide range of uses ranging from viewing dailes to a cheap digital signage solution. It even comes with a remote control!
