HD Blu-ray Recorder

Blu-ray Disc™ Recorder with Twin HD Terrestrial Tuner compatible with Freeview+HD and 500GB HDD

DIGA’s H.264 encoder compresses the recorded programmes at a lower bitrates but retain its high-definition resolution. The images are crisp and clear due to advanced compression technologies that are optimized to match each scene. PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus is a high quality image processing technology developed to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc™ video signal. It reproduces colour data with twice the accuracy of conventional systems to keep colours faithful and sharp.

Freeview HD will bring HD channels from BBC, ITV and Channel 4, along with S4C HD in Wales, to your front room. Later in 2010, Five HD will come to Freeview. Imagine your favourite soaps and dramas, documentaries and even the 2010 world sports event in full HD glory.

The 35-hour long time archiving in HM mode is also convenient for saving hard disk space. In HM mode, a maximum of 35 hours of high definition recording data can be save onto BD-RE DL/BD-R DL (50GB).

DIGA becomes more convenient with addition of Rewind Live TV. On top of Pause Live TV which let you pause live TV programmes as if you are watching recorded programmes, Rewind Live TV will allow you to rewind live TV to the scene which you want to, upto 2 hours, so you won't miss important moments. *Rewind Live TV will be effective while channel stays the same. *The function of Rewind Live TV does not work during simultaneous recording. *For Pause Live TV, when 8 hours pass since the programme was recorded, the recording stops.

Using DLNA® technology, Panasonic Blu-ray Disc&trade players and home cinema systems can access files on the DLNA Server Blu-ray Disc™ Recorder DMR-BW880 or compliant PC*. By simply connecting to Home Network (LAN), you can enjoy AVCHD, JPEG files and recorded programmes on your DIGA or AVCHD, WMV, and JPEG on your PC*. *Requires Windows 7 Operating System.
