"Versatile performance with many special talents" - these are qualities Minox touts in their new DMP 4 digital media player /recorder and mobile data depot. Amateur photographers will particularly appreciate this unit as handy and powerful image tank with which they can store and view data contents of SD memory cards. Smaller than a most compact cameras, the DMP 4 offers many unique capacities. A high-speed memory embedded in the heart of the elegant housing, which serves as a data depot. Its 2GB capacity alone, can easily provide an evening full of film viewing.
As a media player, the DMP 4 perfectly masters video recording via the integrated interface. Films from DVD or TV programs from the television can be recorded and stored in the tiny appliance in no time at all using a cable and without requiring a computer. Minox uses the cutting-edge MPEG4 format for this purpose, providing high image and sound quality – in spite of the comparatively small file size. The built-in slot for SD memory cards with a capacity of up to 2GB (enough for playing approximately two feature films) is just one storage option: a 2 GB flash memory makes the DMP 4 independent and turns it into an electronic media depot. This allows intermediate storage of digital photos and their presentation on the generous 2.5-inch TFT color monitor, for example.
Sound recordings on the tiny recorder are automatically transferred into MP3 format. In this way, music can be recorded from a CD player or voice recordings can be made using the voice recorder function. The stereo playback sound of film or sound files is provided by the speakers integrated in the body. Their output power is sufficient enough to enjoy multimedia at home and away. The Minox DMP 4 also comes with earphones.
The clear switch functions and menu navigation of the DMP 4 - in a unique Volkswagen design - is said to guarantee easy and reliable handling. Control of all main functions and menu settings are placed front-and-center, making them both ergonomic and practical. Everything is self-explanatory, with a systematic menu and unmistakable symbols on the large color display, guiding the user quickly and instinctively. There are further keys integrated in the elegant body and at the sides which can be used with a single thumb control. With the built-in USB interface files can be quickly transferred between computer and media player, and the DMP 4 operates as intermediate memory while charging the Li-ion battery. The capacity of the battery allows approximately three hours of playing time.
