SnapStream’s Monster Commercial DVR

You think your DVR is something special? How about ten tuners and 2TB of storage. Automatic indexing and searching abilities based on Closed Caption text. Easy point and click clip generation. Built in archiving to DVD. Access from any PC on the network for searching and playback.

These are all capabilities of SnapStream’s Enterprise DVR. Designed for professional use, it comes in the form of a rack-mountable server chassis. Who needs these capabilities? Think PR firms, news organizations, schools - anyone who might need to record, index, and search large quantities of video. Think of The Daily Show and all the news clips they use.

Here’s a video presentation on the product. Unfortunately, the sound is a bit poor, so you might need to turn up your volume.

Picked up from Davis Freeberg.

Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray Player only $348 at Wal*Mart - with 10 Free Movies

Wal*Mart is selling the Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray Player for $348 with ten free Blu-ray Disc movies. Select five movies when you check out, and receive five more via a mail-in offer. Personally I’d probably opt for the 40GB PS3 at $399 for a solid Blu-ray player and game system, but this is a good deal if you’re just looking for a player.

Hat tip to Gizmodo.
