The TV Wonder family is expanded with new TV tuners
The new TV tuner cards have been renamed the TV Wonder 650 Combo PCIe and TV Wonder 600 USB.
The PCI Express can be inserted into the x1 socket TV Wonder 650 Combo PCIe card, as its name suggests, presented about a year ago Theater 650 Pro video processor located. Although not a novelty in the world of TV receivers, it is a special feature that the card has two tuners, which allows you to watch or record analogue and digital broadcasts at the same time, ie you can receive signals from up to two sources at the same time.
The card, which also receives FM radio broadcasts, delivers outstanding audio and video quality thanks to ATI Avivo technology with hardware MPEG-2 compression, motion-sensitive 3D comb filter, automatic color and sharpness control, noise reduction and edge enhancement.
It can also be connected to USB 2.0, which is also a hybrid solution TV Wonder 600 USB also captures analog and digital signals, but the difference from its PCIe sibling is that only one of the broadcast modes can be selected at a time, and knowledge of ClearQAM technology is also omitted, allowing uncoded digital signals to be received via cable.
Tuner cards included with Catalyst Media Center are fully compatible with Windows Vista and Windows XP Media Center Editions. TV Wonder novelties, available from September, will be priced at $ 149 (PCIe) and $ 119 (USB), respectively.
