Iomega Media Xporter PC-to-console Image exporter
Posted on Dec 09, 2008 under Articles, Multimedia |Makes PC-to-console so simple, even your grandmother can export pictures of the knitting club to your Xbox.
Sure, connecting an external USB hard drive up to your XBox 360 is hardly rocket science for the average computer reader - but throw in the frustration of getting those hairy photos from your Matric holidays, Guns ‘n Roses albums and that Vernon Koekemoer collection to actually read and play… Now that requires skill.
We’re not sure why you’d want to see snaps of your debauchery in 1080p or similar hi-definition, but now you can with this handy portable hard drive that’s taken the guesswork out exporting media to your next-gen console.
Iomega have thought out of the box, and now accommodate the needs of next-gen console owners who own machines capable of more than just a lazy afternoon of button-mashing. The Iomega Media Xporter is 100% compatible with the PS3 and Xbox 360, with native support for all the accompanying formats (a small avalanche of them) for those of you storing photos, music and videos on your console.
You can also convert additional video formats with Prism Video Converter MX, which requires a free software download
. With many PS3s and Xboxes hooked up to a hi-def TV, the applications are obvious.
The Xporter landed on our desktop just as we needed to pull 9GB of pics, tunes and clips off a laptop that needed returning. The snappy data transfer took just a few minutes, and we plugged the Y cable that came with the drive into the back of our Xbox and loaded it up. Quick and easy.
Of course, in comparison to the price of a regular 160GB external hard drive, you’re paying a little extra for this convenience. The drive has a sophisticated look-and-feel, and naturally, fits into your pocket. It’s a pretty savvy purchase for the gadget aficionado - while more hardcore PC enthusiasts might be asking, ‘What’s all the fuss about?’ The answer: plug-and-play. Good thinking Iomega.
