Apple, I hope you have something up your sleeve with Apple TV because Creative has just introduced the Xdock HD. The tag line is, “The ultimate iPod dock for your home theater system.” It’s the only iPod dock that upconverts your video to 720p or 1080i resolution. Not only a great picture but, out of the box you get full DTS surround sound. If that’s not enough, the Xdock HD can wirelessly distribute music throughout your home to X-Fi Wireless Receivers up to 100 feet away without requiring a wireless network.

The Xdock HD connects to a home theater system via HDMI, or it can be connected with component or composite for video and analog line-out or optical line-out for audio. While it docks and charges an iPod, the Xdock HD outputs a menu to an HDTV screen which users can navigate with the included wireless remote to select videos, music, photos and podcasts stored on select iPod models. Users can also adjust video settings including skin tone correction, luminescence sharpening and color saturation.

The Xdock HD is designed for use with the iPod Touch, iPod Classic, new iPod Nano and previous-generation iPods.

Available this Spring for US$399.99 (via CES)
