Casablanca SL-1000 to Premiere at IFA Technology Show in Berlin, Germany

As I shared previously here on the Casablanca Expert Blog - Macrosystem AG is exhibiting at the IFA 2011 Technology Show in Berlin, German (September 2-7, 2011). On the MSAG website is it mentioned that the company will show a brand new model - the Casablanca SL-1000.  Here is some additional information about this new product - thanks to Google translation of this German language website: http://www.pr-video.de/aktuell/index.php

How does the SL-1000 compare with the S3000 and S6000 ?

Based on what we know Len (no English language materials yet) it appears to be a bare bones S3000. The Blu-ray DVD drive is optional, and at first I thought it might not accomodate analog video but looks like it does have the ports to import analog (S-video and composite) but like the S3000 & S6000 is does not have the export/output capability to record out to analog video. It may be a few weeks until we know for sure when/if the marketing is translated into English - we are not yet sure if this unit will be sold in NTSC, as we have not heard anything from MSUS about this, but I would imagine so.
