RJTech PVR1100 MPEG4 Mini Video Recorder Review

A Closer Look at the RJTech PVR1100


The RJTech PVR1100 has a very sleek and modern exterior design which is predominantly black with a few silver accents here and there. The front panel holds the infrared port as well as the memory card slots but what you won’t find is an on/off switch since this function is controlled via the remote.


To tell you the truth, I was completely floored by how small this recorder is. Above you see its size when compared to a typical wallet to give you an impression of its overall length and width but what we didn’t show you is its height which is about equal to a typical deck of playing cards. To be more exact, it measures about 12cm (L) x 9cm (W) x 2cm (H). This means if you don’t have an issue with trucking along its cables and remote, the PVR1100 is a truly portable recorder.


As already mentioned, the front panel holds the necessary openings and connectors for nearly any memory card on the market today. It is compatible with Compact Flash and 1” Micro Drives from Seagate and Hitachi through the larger top slot while the smaller bottom opening is compatible with a multitude of other memory cards. This includes MiniSD, MMC, RS-MMC, MicroSD and Memory Stick Pro Duo memory cards all through their separate adaptors and features native support for SD and Memory Stick Duo cards. All in all, this pretty much covers every portable storage medium on the market today.


The bottom of the PVR1100 is not much to look at but it includes four rubber feet which is a great addition for those of us who don’t want scratches on our expensive AV furniture.


Finally, the back of the PVR1100 rounds out an intuitive and simple design with the main I/O connector ports. There is a power input connector as well as separate connectors for audio/video in and audio/video out. This makes it VERY hard to screw up the installation of this player as long as you stick to what the manual tells you to do.
