Cambridgeshire, England, September 5, 2007 -- Meridian Audio, the British firm credited with creating digital home theater, will introduce and demonstrate a unique new enabler for the Apple Computer's hugely popular iPod family of personal media devices at the 2007 CEDIA Expo. Like many other iPod "docks," the Meridian iRIS Universal Dock for iPod accepts the full range of current iPod models and delivers battery charging and home audio-system integration and control. Additionally, the Meridian design features high-end video up-conversion processing (up to 1080p) that produces astonishing images with clarity and detail, delivering true big-screen performance from iPod Video.

The Meridian iRIS design incorporates uniquely sophisticated and specialized video processing courtesy of its Qdeo digital processing engine from chip-maker Marvell. This empowers the Meridian iRIS to derive upscaled and upconverted video--including full-HD-format 1080-progressive mode--with unprecedented quality. Instead of the lower definition resolutions "native" to small-format iPod Video clips, downloaded video can be displayed on the large screen in impressively tight, HD-formatted full-screen video--up to 1080p on HDMI,…

Burmester USA, a division of Burmester Audiosysteme, Germany's leading manufacturer of high-performance electronics and speakers, introduces the 069 Reference Line CD Player, representing the state of the art in musicality and natural sound reproduction, at CEDIA EXPO '07.

The 069 CD Player is an elegant, cutting-edge digital playback system created for connoisseurs of musical performance and sophisticated product design. As the successor of the legendary 969/970 CD Drive/DAC Combo, it achieves its superb performance partly by using a proprietary belt drive built completely in-house (instead of the off-the-shelf direct-drive other manufacturers commonly use), and by completely de-coupling the drive unit mechanically and electrically to insulate the reading process from all external interference. This also allows the 069 CD Player to better capture those small parts of the signal that the human ear translates as spatial image, focus and musical accuracy.

The belt drive is hand-made at the Burmester factory in Berlin. The drive unit rests in the massive double-chamber housing in a solid…
