The media player is designed to work with Seagate's FreeAgent Go portable hard drive enabling people to store digital media on their TV screens rather than on their computer monitors.
The FreeAgent Theatre HD Media Player will be available at major retailers and through resellers at the end of this month.
Its distributors are Ingram and Synnex
It is available in Australia and New Zealand as a standalone version only. Customers have the option of using it with a FreeAgent Go portable hard drive as a complete solution or only with a USB device.
"Consumers are awakening to the fact that the PC isn't thebest place to store or view their photographs and videos," said Chris Chute, research manager IDC.
"Over time the living room and robust storage solutions will go hand-in-hand to facilitate the next-generation of sharing memories."
