Retailing for £149.99, it allows you to convert any video source (TV, Camcorder, DVD Player, Satellite) to MPEG4 format onto your Memory Stick Pro Duo card or Compact Flash Memory Card. Simply remove the Memory Stick from the Neuros MPEG4 Recorder and pop it into your PSP for instant playback, without the use of a PC!

Measuring just 11.7 x 8.6 x 1.7cm and weighing 140g, it is ultra lightweight and compact. Once installed and linked to a video source, you can leave it in place just like a VCR.

Recording Time for 1GB card:

• Economic = 250min
• Normal = 143min
• Fine = 111min
• Super Fine = 60min

Complete System Includes

• Standard A/V RCA Interface Cables (European units may contain SCART adapters)
• 110-240V AC/DC Power Supply
• Remote Control
• User Manual Driver and Bundle Software Pack.

Using the Neuros Video Recorder, gamers will also have the opportunity to record their best game sequences from their console games. All they need is the Recorder and a RCA composite to miniplug adapter. Game enthusiasts will no longer have to try to explain their latest moves or achievements, as the video they record will do it for them.
