iPod Classic

HD on the go

With its large, bright 5” touch screen and 1080p HD compatibility the ARCHOS 50b vision is great to comfortably watch all your videos on the go. When you’re out and about it’ll also cover your music needs and with great battery time (5hrs for video, 15 for music)4, you’ll be entertained all day long. It’s also perfect for your living-room as you can plug it into your TV via mini-HDMI and enjoy all your HD videos from your player with ease thanks to the remote control.

Designed for HD video

Whether it’s in the bus or at home, plugged into your HDTV, the ARCHOS 50b vision will let you play all your HD videos up to full 1080p. Because this ARCHOS product supports the most common HD video formats right out of the box (H264 HP MKV, MPEG-4 AVI, FLV)3, you won’t have to waste your time converting video. You can even switch from one language soundtrack to another or choose to display subtitles at anytime. When you’re out and about, the stunning 5” (12.7 cm) screen shows your movies and TV shows in full HD quality. And there’s no headaches in transferring the files, just plug in the USB connector, drag and drop the video files from your PC onto your ARCHOS 50b vision and you’re set.

HD video player for your living room

The ARCHOS 50b vision is not only great at playing video on the go but also in your living room. Just connect a mini HDMI cable (not provided) to your ARCHOS 50b vision and get your HD movie up on that big screen. Whether it’s films or photos, your ARCHOS 50b vision will show it all clearly on the big screen. And controlling everything will be really simple thanks to the remote control that comes with the ARCHOS 50b vision.

All your music in your pocket

Though the ARCHOS 50b vision is designed to be a great video player, it’s also a complete music player letting you take your music with you wherever you go2. The 8 GB1 memory lets you store your whole music collection and if you need even more space, you can slide in a micro-SD card. Able to play MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC and APE music files, the ARCHOS 50b vision also has great bonus features like album cover and lyrics options as well as a graphic equalizer with many presets to make your music playback even more enjoyable. And if you want to show your friends the latest songs you’re crazy about, just unplug your headphones and play your music over the built-in speaker.

Your photos brighter than ever

Rediscover and share the digital pictures you’ve been taking. Relive your favorite moments thanks to the ARCHOS 50b vision’s sharp, high-resolution screen. Whatever format your pictures are (JPEG, BMP or GIF), the ARCHOS 50b vision will display them beautifully. And we’ve added in a slideshow feature to show all your pictures while playing music in the background.

User-friendly interface and tools

And to make your life easier the ARCHOS 50b vision lets you add clock or calendar widgets to your home screen as well as set your background from any of your onboard pictures. We’ve also added in some tools such as a voice recorder to remember anything important and an alarm clock.

Space available and lots of it.
