HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hauppauge Computer
Works Inc. has announced the WinTV-HVR-1975, a USB based TV
receiver for Windows and Linux systems with multi-format TV support
for both North American and Europe. The WinTV-HVR-1975 has built-in
support for North America NTSC and European PAL TV, plus ATSC HD
and clear QAM digital cable TV support in North America and DVB-T, DVB-T2 and DVB-C
support in Europe.
The WinTV-HVR-1975 is part of the WinTV-HVR-19XX family of high
performance TV receivers. All models in the family have hardware
video encoders which convert NTSC and PAL TV programs into MPEG-2,
thereby reducing the CPU requirements of the host systems.
"Our professional TV receiver customers have been looking for a
universal TV tuner for Europe and
North America, and the
WinTV-HVR-1975 supports the most popular TV formats used in both
regions. For example, the DVB-C TV format is used in many European
countries for digital cable TV, and DVB-T2, the new high definition
over-the-air broadcast format which started in the UK, is now
spreading throughout Europe
including Russia. Coupled with the
support of NTSC, PAL, ATSC and DVB-T, the WinTV-HVR-1975 delivers a
TV receiver which is as close to universal as possible," said
Ken Plotkin, President of
Hauppauge.
"We expect the WinTV-HVR-1975 to be used in Linux based systems
for digital signage, sports equipment, hospital patient
entertainment systems and other TV watching and high speed data
delivery applications."
For Windows system users, Hauppauge has developed both Windows 32-bit
and 64-bit drivers and a TV application, WinTV v7.
For Linux system builders, Hauppauge has driver support which can be
provided under NDA.
