Hauppauge Introduces Dual Tuner NTSC/ATSC/QAM PCI Express TV tuner board
WinTV-HVR-2250 allows the watching and recording of two TV programs at once. Dual built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoders improve Vista Media Center performance.
2008 International CES, Las Vegas, South Hall 4 - Booth #35328 (January 7th, 2008): Hauppauge Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAUP), the world's leading developer and manufacturer of analog and digital TV receiver products for personal computers, announced today the introduction of the new dual tuner WinTV-HVR-2250. The WinTV-HVR-2250 has two complete on-board analog and digital TV receivers, which allow users to watch and record two NTSC, ATSC or clear QAM digital cable TV programs at the same time. To support the popular analog and digital TV formats used in North America, the WinTV-HVR-2250 supports NTSC analog cable TV, over the air ATSC high definition digital TV plus clear QAM digital cable TV. There are two complete TV receivers on the WinTV-HVR-2250, which allow two programs of any type to be watched, paused or recorded at the same time. Designed for both end users and PC system integrators, the WinTV-HVR-2250 is a half height PCI Express board. PCI Express is the new style of PC add-in cards, now available in most desktop PCs. PCI Express has the advantage of a smaller form factor and higher performance then the older PCI bus, which has been used in PCs since 1998. To improve the performance of analog cable TV recording under Vista Media Center, the WinTVHVR-2250 also has two built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoders. This gives the cable TV user the ability to watch, pause or record two simultaneous analog TV programs without slowing down the PC. This is a feature typically found in high end home digital video recorders. The WinTV-HVR-2250 can also use the dual built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoders to record two simultaneous S-Video or composite A/V inputs from cable TV or satellite set top boxes.
WinTV-HVR-2250 comes bundled with Premium certified drivers for use with Vista Media Center, plus the new Hauppauge WinTV version 6 application, for TV watching with Windows XP and Vista Home Basic. WinTV v6 allows Windows users to watch, pause or record analog or digital TV on their PC screen, in a window or full screen. Through the new button arrangements, WinTV version 6 also gives optimal handling of TV watching and recording operations. The most important functions for everyday use, LIVE-TV, PAUSE, RECORD and PLAY, are found on a separate Taskbar underneath the TV window and can be activated quickly. These new buttons are in addition to the popular snapshot tray, the channel surf and always-on-top buttons. The single click no-title mode, where in one click of the mouse all buttons are removed and only TV remains in a resizable window, is one of the key features of WinTV version 6.
