EASY ACCESS TO CONTENT

The Gen 5 line of PMPs from ARCHOS features the fastest, easiest way to access, enjoy digital entertainment and brings at least five major technological breakthroughs:

1. TV Recording through Online TV Guide

With the ARCHOS Record your favorite TV shows or series directly on your ARCHOS WiFi with the optional DVR Station Gen 5. Easily Make scheduled recordings, from your satellite receiver, cable box or DVB-T adapter, using the integrated TV Program Guide. Archos Records from nearly any video source, including TV, DVD player⁷, satellite/cable box, or VCR-all in MPEG-4 format and in an optimized resolution for TV playback.

2. Web Surfing in Full Page Mode

With a 1.5 times larger screen, and 2.5 times higher resolution than other products in the market, including 800-wide pixel resolution on the line, the ARCHOS Generation 5 WiFi products allow surfing the Web in full width mode.

The ARCHOS WiFi portable multimedia players have a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The most media players available today have a screen of lesser resolution, such as 480x320 pixels. However, the vast majority of Web pages are being displayed in a width of 800 to 1,000 pixels. With a screen displaying 480 pixels on the line, the user can only see half of the Web page, and must constantly zoom forward and back to fully read the page. The ARCHOS WiFi players are the only PMPs to allow for such rich and easy web navigation.

3. Flash Support for Streaming and Playing Web Video

The large majority of Web sites today use Adobe Flash® for animations and streaming videos online. The new ARCHOS Generation 5 WiFi models support this technology. A browser that doesn't support Flash^® is crippled because it doesn't allow viewing animations and associated videos. Consequently, the ARCHOS Generation 5 WiFi products are the only PMPs that offer a real web experience that includes embedded Flash^® content. This give you acces to the best Web video site such as Dailymotion^® and Youtube^®.

4. ARCHOS Content Portal : Open Platform for Any Content Provider

The WiFi models of the ARCHOS Generation allow users to connect wirelessly to the ARCHOS Content Portal (ACP) and access distant content directly with the PMP. This video-on-demand (VOD) platform is open to premium content providers and VOD players in all countries, and offers the easiest way to purchase movies and TV shows wirelessly and without using a PC. The ACP features more than 15 partners around the world.

5. Streaming Content from PC

Through the home WiFi connection, enjoy your entire digital media library on your home PC while relaxing in your living room, not in front of the computer. Simply use Windows Media® player 11 to share your media library from your PC. Then make a WiFi connection to your home network and select "Network UPnP" from the Video, Photo or Music mode. You have now direct access to all the videos, pictures and songs stored in your computer's media library.
