Kodak Theater HD Player

The Kodak Theater HD player is a wireless high definition digital player that lets users display music, videos, and pictures from networked PCs, memory cards, USB storage devices, and the Internet. In direct competition with the Apple TV, the Kodak Theater player does not have a hard drive, but it does support HDMI 1.2 up to 1080p. In addition, whereas the Apple TV only supports 802.11 b/g/n and 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connections, the Kodak Theater supports RJ-45 as well. The Kodak Theater HD player also includes a built-in Blu-ray player, a web browser, and the ability to play games. Furthermore, the Kodak Theater includes the ability to set up personalized slide shows, connect directly with Kodak Gallery and Flickr, and support for over 5 different video codecs.
