Inventa Australia has just released Dual-TunerHDTV, a package that allows two digital TV channels on one PC to be watched in full speed, recorded in perfect quality, and timeshifted arbitrarily -- even from one single remote controller! With these true dual-tuner capabilities, customers gain unprecedented power to control the way they enjoy the super-high quality digital TV broadcasting.
As two fully-functioning High-Definition Digital TV Tuners, each of the PCI cards in Dual-TunerHDTV package functions independently to tune, watch, record, timeshift standard and high definition digital TV channels. When run in dual-tuner mode, they keep these functionalities so that two different TV channels can be tuned, watched, recorded and timeshifted separately, even extra services such as teletext and EPG windows can be operated in two copies. During TV recording, the simultaneously recorded two channels can be independently paused, re-winded and jumped backward/forward. Out of the box Inventa Dual-TunerHDTV works entirely on its bundled software the first time and every time, as well as running flawlessly on Microsoft MCE2005 PCs as a dual-tuner configuration.
Dual-TunerHDTV
also comes with a unique All-Purpose
Remote Control
that
allows all single and dual tuner TV operations to be performed by pressing
remote control buttons, inc. some dual-tuner-specific functions such as picture-in-picture,
switching between two TV screens, window size zoom-in/zoom-out, and
volume control on individual speakers. The remote control also goes far
beyond tuning TVs --- it allows any other software on the PC to be controlled,
and can control multiple software at the same time. The remote control's
built-in settings allow Dual-TunerHDTV
to be remotely controlled through multiple software such as Microsoft MCE2005,
MyTheatre, ShowShifter etc, and allows users to use remote controller in
Microsoft MediaPlayer and Internet Explorer. A powerful button-to-keyboard
mapping function allows users to map any software's function onto remote
controller's buttons, full details can be found on www.inventa.com.au/Product Release and Comment/aprc.htm.
Using Dual-TunerHDTV together with other high-definition digital TV products from Inventa Australia, such as FireDTV and PocketHDTV, customers can easily create a super-power multi-tuner digital TV PC with 3, 4 or more different digital TV channels tuned in simultaneously for watching, recording, and timeshifting, and all can be remotely controlled by one single remote controller.
The
Dual-TunerHDTV
also
comes with basic analogue TV tuning, FM-Radio tuning, and
PAL/NTSC analogue
video/audio capture capabilities. These give Dual-TunerHDTV
the power
to simultaneously tune/capture both
Analogue and Digital TV channels, or watch or capture Digital TV and Analogue Video Input
at the same time:
