A large and increasing number of game consoles, camcorders, TVs, DVRs, Blu-ray

players and media players, including the WD TV Media Player family, allow

consumers to connect a USB drive and play the multimedia content from the drive

on an HD TV. The My Passport AV portable media drive is designed to meet the

requirements of this video streaming environment.

These media drives operate seamlessly with the Direct Copy feature offered in

Sony's new Handycam video recorders. Direct Copy lets Handycam users offload and

archive HD video directly to a My Passport AV portable media drive without a

computer, creating room to shoot more HD videos when their Handycam hard drive

becomes full.

Consumers can then play back their stored videos using Sony's latest Blu-ray

players or any of the WD TV media players by just connecting the My Passport AV

portable media drive via the



USB
port on these players. Specific Handycam and Blu-ray model compatibility

information is available on



www.wdc.com
. The included stand and extra long cable makes it easy to

position the drive neatly in entertainment centers, maximizing the airflow and

minimizing heat around the drive.

The new My Passport AV portable media drives feature a 3-year limited

warranty and are available now at select retail stores. The MRP for the My

Passport AV portable media drive of 320 GB capacity is Rs. 5,150.
