High definition solutions provider Meridian announced at CES that it has come out with an iPod docking station capable of broadcasting your media in true 1080p on your HDTV. The MV-D1 is an almost entirely polished red device with curious looking Source, Format and Connect buttons, complimenting the standard Volume keys. Inside the MV-D1 is an integrated Marvell's 88DE2710 digital video format converter which handles upscaling the images from the iPod screen to your big screen.
Meridian states that the device will take any standard definition or high definition video and convert it to a true 1080p resolution for optimal viewing. Output happens via an HDMI connector which is in charge of cleaning up the digital noise in the picture and sending a good clean signal to your television. Powering this unit is easy, as you can connect to a standard AC outlet or provide power through USB. Finally, the unit contains digital audio out for a true HD experience.
