Plextor är mycket mer än bara en tillverkare av högkvalitativa optiska enheter. Plextor har tillverkat externa hårddiskar under lång tid och som en förlängning av sin hårddiskfamilj har man lanserat en serie mediaspelare som är utvecklade för att lagra din media och kopplas direkt till din TV genom en enkel komponentingång. Spelaren klarar de flesta vanliga video codecarna, DivX inkluderat, och stödjer upplösningar upp till 720p. Med en prislapp på drygt 2000 kronor ser det ut att vara en ganska smidig multimedialösning för de som inte vill bygga en komplett HTPC för att spela upp sin media.
