The recorder: you can record TV- and radio programs from sources like antenna, cable and set top-box or data from DVD or CD as well as record from your good old VHS player to a hard disk drive – even with time shift function. Anything you only want to playback without recording you can simply stream.
The player: from now on videos, music and photos have their spot on central stage like your TV-set, home entertainment centre or stereo. Kludge like camera-display, computer-screen or the earphones of the MP3-player belong to the past now.
Using a network you access shared media files and drives via Samba. With an HDD mounted the IB-MP3010 becomes the digital video recorder.
The ICY BOX IB-MP3010 has a slot for memory cards, two USB inputs and a composite input. The video outputs are composite and component (720p/1080i). Audio outputs are stereo (L/R) and digital audio (SPDIF, coaxial and optical).
All plugs are on the back, neatly arranged. The body is matt black. It is made of aluminium which provides good cooling and stability. And it looks and feels good.
The ICY BOX IB-MP3010 offers a reasonably composed bundle of features. You won’t miss anything that’s indispensable in its class. And you don’t have to pay for features, you don’t need.
The recording function has to be highlighted as it is not very common in this class of multi media players.
