This week Panasonic has introduced a new pocket media server to their range, the DY-PS10, which has been created to allow you to push media from an SDXC memory card over a wireless connection to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.
The new Panasonic Pocket Server is compatible with iOS devices and will push media over a Wi-Fi b/g network. When a 64GB SDXC memory card is inserted, you can play back up to 88 hours of standard definition video. However, you will need to recharge the DY-PS10 a couple of times, as its internal 1,400 mAh battery will only provide around 10 hours of continual use.
Features and Compatibility
The Panasonic DY-PS10 is designed to be highly portable and user-friendly. Its compact size makes it easy to carry around, fitting comfortably in your pocket or bag. The device supports a variety of media formats, ensuring that you can enjoy your favorite movies, music, and photos without any compatibility issues. The server’s ability to connect wirelessly to iOS devices means you can stream content directly to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad without the need for any cables.
One of the standout features of the DY-PS10 is its ability to handle large SDXC memory cards, up to 64GB. This allows for extensive media storage, making it ideal for long trips or situations where you might not have access to a computer or other media sources. The device’s Wi-Fi b/g network compatibility ensures a stable and reliable connection, so you can enjoy uninterrupted streaming.
Usage and Practicality
You can either transfer media directly to the card from your other Panasonic gear or attach the DY-PS10 to your computer via USB and transfer data as if it were an external hard drive directly to the card in the device. This dual functionality makes it incredibly versatile, allowing you to manage your media library with ease.
The DY-PS10’s battery life, while sufficient for most uses, does require periodic recharging. With a 1,400 mAh battery, you can expect around 10 hours of continuous use. This should be more than enough for a day of media consumption, but for extended trips, you might want to carry a portable charger or have access to a power source to keep the device running.
The Panasonic DY-PS10 will go on sale on September 15th in Japan for 14,800 yen, which is around $191. However, as of now, Panasonic has not released any information on worldwide shipping. This means that international customers will need to wait for further announcements or look for alternative ways to purchase the device.
The Panasonic DY-PS10 pocket media server offers a convenient and portable solution for media streaming on iOS devices. Its compatibility with large SDXC memory cards and wireless connectivity make it a versatile tool for media enthusiasts. While the battery life may require occasional recharging, the overall functionality and ease of use make it a worthwhile investment for those looking to enjoy their media on the go.
