LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hauppauge
Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAUP), the world's leading developer and
manufacturer of TV tuners and HD video recorders, has launched two
new models in their line of high definition video recorders. One
model is geared toward home media enthusiasts, while the other is
designed for advanced gamers.
The new model for home media users is called HD PVR 2 model
1512. HD PVR 2 users can create a library of their favorite cable
TV or satellite TV programs in HD. HD PVR 2 has a built-in high
definition video recorder plus an IR blaster to control channel
changing on a set top box. HD PVR 2 is connected to both a set top
box with supplied component video cables and to a PC, using the
PC's disk drive for storing the recordings. With the supplied
Hauppauge WinTV v7.2 application, the HD PVR 2 can be programmed to
change the channels on the set top box using the IR blaster at a
designated time. HD PVR 2 is also compatible with Windows Media
Center from Windows 7 and Windows 8.
The new model for advanced gamers is the HD PVR 2 GE Plus. The
HD PVR 2 GE Plus adds SPDIF and full surround sound audio to game
recordings. Designed to be used with Xbox 360, PS3 and PC game
systems where SPDIF and surround sound audio are used, HD PVR 2 GE
Plus can record the surround sound audio along with the game play
in HD. For gamers who use home theater A/V systems for an
incredible audio/video experience, the HD PVR GE Plus also has full
surround sound audio pass-through. HD PVR 2 GE Plus also is bundled
with Hauppauge's StreamEez video
streaming application which allows game play to be streamed via
Justin.TV and U-Stream.
Both new models will be available beginning February 1, 2013 and will be distributed through
retailers in North America and
Europe.
The original HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition was introduced at the
gamescom2012 gaming show in Cologne,
Germany in August 2012. All
features from the HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition are included with the two
new models:
- A built-in HD video encoder that was designed for the TV
broadcast industry. All recordings are in H.264, which is the video
format used to make HD Blu-ray discs.
- High definition HDMI and component video recording at up to
1080p30.
- HDMI "no delay pass-through" so gamers can record their game
play while playing the game on a TV monitor.
- A built-in record button for simple manual starting and
stopping of recordings.
- StreamEez for streaming game play using Twitch and
Ustream.
- The Personal Logo inserter, for adding a digital inserter logo
to recordings.
With higher performance, easy installation and unparalleled
quality, the HD PVR 2 family of game recorders is the best
available today. Find out more at www.hauppauge.com.
