Kronach. – Loewe now offers all the current flat-screen televisions in the Art, Connect, Individual and Reference families with a screen diagonal of 32 inches or over with an optional integrated DR+ hard disk recorder. Simple operation makes lossless recording and time-deferred viewing of television programmes using the digital recorder perfectly straightforward – even with recording in HDTV quality and with DolbyDigital sound if desired. That's why the significant majority of all Loewe customers already request this convenient feature today.

Until now, those who wanted to archive feature films or interesting programmes for longer periods had to record them onto a DVD. So far, this has only been possible to do via 'analogue' transfer, which entails a loss in quality, and HDTV programmes could likewise only be recorded, if at all, in analogue quality onto DVDs, depending on the content. With Loewe, such problems are now a thing of the past, as the new MovieVision DR+ mobile video archive has the capacity to store around 100 hours of video in HDTV quality, or 200 hours in DVD quality. Measuring just 137x89x16 mm, the stylish device is even smaller than two CD boxes and blends in elegantly and inconspicuously with a Loewe flat-screen TV.

Transferring recordings from the television’s integrated hard disk recorder onto the MovieVision DR+ is extremely straightforward. The video archive, which weighs just 190 grammes, can be connected to the television simply with a USB cable. The recordings to be transferred can then be selected by remote control, with everything else happening fully automatically – a two-hour feature film in HDTV quality takes only 10 minutes to record onto the mobile video archive. Films can also be conveniently played from the MovieVision DR+ in full HDTV quality on another Loewe television with a USB port in any other room or your holiday home. With certain restrictions, it is even possible to archive encrypted recordings in accordance with the Common Interface standard.

The MovieVision DR+ mobile video archive, available from October, is based on a 500-gigabyte hard disk, which not only runs extremely smoothly, but is so solidly built that it can even survive falls of up to 130 cm. What’s more, there is exclusive, breath-taking film footage of a transatlantic flight from Frankfurt am Main to Seattle, in the best HD quality: pilotsEYE.tv Seattle. Seven simultaneous HD cameras recorded the most spectacular flight periods. With a recommended retail price of 300 euros, the new Loewe video archive is also refreshingly good value - the long-term archiving of one hour of film in HDTV quality or two hours in DVD quality works out at only three euros - and if you don't want to watch one or more of these films again, they can simply be replaced by new recordings.
