The Windows Experience Blog look at the HP MediaSmart Connect

Brandon on the Windows Experience Blog takes a look at HP’s new Extender (and don’t forget you can still register for the webinars). Brandon looks at the form factor, the connections and the remote

I will be hooking my review unit up to my system over the weekend

Ok, now let’s take a look at the device. First off – the form factor for the HP MediaSmart Connect is perfect for "extending" your Windows Media Center experience into other rooms in your home as it does not take up tons of room. Its exact dimensions (width x depth x height in inches) are 8.5 x 8.5 x 1.8. The unit would fit perfectly right next to a flat panel HDTV or on an open shelf.  I currently have my review unit sitting on a small shelf next to the entertainment unit that my HDTV sits on. It would fit within the shelves of the entertainment unit had they not been completely filled with DVDs (heh). It is also not very heavy (around 3.5 lbs).

    No TIFF support?
    How about support for avchd and .M2T files off newer consumer hi-def camcorders?
