4/1/2017 Compatibility & Buttons
In addition to Online Updates, the newest addition is DVD-1150 control compatibility: the same button presses that you're used to:

Record Buttons :
One-touch record - press REC and it records
Two Button Record -  Hold REC and Touch PLAY (like DVD-1150)
One-touch Record from E-E/Loop mode

 

3/15/2017   Online Updates:  Beginning with HDi-250 units ordered after 15 March 2017, the HDi will be equipped with a new CPU board and firmware v3.0.  The new HDi will automatically check for and download firmware updates, including new features.  Previously, updating the firmware involved a fairly long download, but no more! Version 3.0 is much smaller than previous update files.  We expect that v3.0 will be the last download you'll need to perform.  After that, it should take care of itself.

4/2/2017   DVD-1150 Compatiblity:  The newest addition is DVD-1150 control compatibility: the same button presses that you're used to with the now-discontinued DVD-1150:

  • Two Button Record -  Hold REC and Touch PLAY (like DVD-1150)
  • One-touch record - press REC and it records
  • One-touch Record from E-E/Loop mode

The church's AV Coordinator had a problem: The church had spent thousands of dollars on new 1080 cameras and projectors.  Fantastic pictures!  But some members were shut-ins who relied on DVDs of each service.  The HDi-250 offered both: HD archives and DVD recording.  Problem solved. The HDi-250 can transcode & resize incoming video on the fly.
