AMD offers HDTV and DVR home theatre experience
With the external plug-and-play ATI TV Wonder 600 USB, a desktop or notebook PC easily becomes a feature-rich DVR for HDTVs, AMD says. The TV Wonder 650 Combo PCIe is a combo tuner that is designed to capture both locally-available over-the-air and cable programming, including HDTV where available.
The PCIe add-in card aims to offer ClearQAM technology that captures unscrambled digital channels that may have previously been unavailable. Both products come with AMD’s Catalyst Media Centre software, and integrate seamlessly with Windows Vista Media Centre and Windows XP Media Centre Edition, AMD says.
“More and more, customers are using the PC as a digital hub for TV and video capture and these solutions put the ultimate visual experience within reach of almost any PC user,” says Imi Mosaheb, country manager, AMD.
The ATI TV Wonder 600 USB package includes a slim credit-card-sized IR remote control, A/V input adapter for video capture from a camcorder or VCR, and user-friendly Catalyst Media Centre Software, he adds.
Extending the ATI TV Theatre family, the ATI TV Wonder 650 Combo PCIe features ClearQAM tuning, designed to allow PC users to receive unencrypted digital content available from their local television provider.
