Helios Labs Launches the H2000; aims to level the playing field

Hong Kong - July 23, 2007 - Helios Labs announces today the H2000, an HD upscaling DVD player that allows you to experience the most from your HDTV set all at an affordable price. Helios Labs, known for their innovative X-series line of networking DVD players, is poised to release an affordable option for their customers.

The H2000 is a region-free DVD player capable of upscaling a variety of formats including: MPEG-4, XviD, DivX and MPEG-2 to 1080i resolution via Component, HDMI and VGA; not to mention upscaling your entire DVD collection. Furthermore, it can output 480i/576i unprocessed digital signal via HDMI. But what does this mean for you? Helios Labs' CTO, Roy Ping, weighs in on this feature.

"H2000 offers the most HD upscaling options. You can let it upscale all your content to 720p/1080i, or you can allow it to output an unprocessed 480i/576i video signal and allow your TV/external video scaler to do the work. This will help customers maximize its performance and consequently, ensure you have a much clearer, distortion-free image."

Many HDTV's also only have one HDMI input, which is usually taken up by something else like a HD cable box, so we have given the H2000 the ability to upscale over Component, HDMI and even VGA, so you can be sure that your TV can connect to our player," he adds.

The player also has support for the VobSub subtitle format, so if you're one to download a lot of foreign movies, then you're in luck as many players do not support this function.

All of these features are enclosed in a sleek, silent black and white design that makes this a must-have purchase for any fan of a quality HD home entertainment experience - all for an affordable price.

A simple cross-check of the biggest tech-help forums like doom9.com and avs.com allude to the number of people who run into complications when trying to connect their DVD player to their TV and play various home-made DVDs. Helios Labs' introduction of their H2000 Upscaling DVD Player looks to remedy any unneeded hassles. Helios Labs keeps an updated list of known conflicts so that their customers can be well-informed. And knowing is half the battle.

Pricing and Availability
The H2000 launches August 10th in the North America for a bargain price of $99 and should help even the playing field in the uncertain world of HD entertainment.
