Wired and wireless connectivity
For secure wireless connectivity, the reference design features Philips'
industry-leading, low-power 802.11a/b/g chipset. An on-board USB
2.0 Hi-speed device streamlines media downloads from personal
computers and other USB-compatible products. A USB OTG device
controller enables players to exchange media files with other port-
able devices.
Flexible storage and expansion options
A choice of storage/recording media lets manufacturers tailor prod-
uct features and price points. A 30-GB hard disk drive (IDE interface)
offers high-capacity media storage and supports PVR applications.

Exceptional picture/video quality
The reference design leverages the PNX1500's advanced image and
video enhancements to deliver exceptional picture quality on LCD
displays. Advanced motion-adaptive deinterlacing with optional edge
detection/correction eliminates the need for an external chip to
support progressive output. The on-chip graphics engine accelerates
high-speed 2D graphics. An integrated TFT LCD controller enables
direct LCD output and supports video resolutions up to WXGA TFT
LCD (1280 x 768 60 Hz) or SD/HD video (up to 1920 x 1080 60i).
For generating high-quality video on internal or external displays, the
PNX1500 handles high-definition video scaling, linear and non-linear
aspect ratio conversion, anti-flicker filtering, brightness control, and a
long list of video quality enhancements.
