  Dvico’s New Digital Tuners

By Lilia Guan | Tuesday | 22/11/2005

Lako Pacific has released Dvico’s FusionHDTV Dual Digital and the Hybrid, both high definition, DVB-T digital TV tuner for Windows based PCs.

The FusionHDTV Dual Digital is a HD digital TV tuner with two TV tuners on one PCI card that allows consumers to watch one digital channel while recording another simultaneously. Whilst the Hybrid is a digital & analogue TV tuner card for those who are unsure of whether they are able to receive digital TV or not, it will also allow them to convert their PC into a TV.

FusionHDTV Dual Digital The Dual Digital opens up options for end users to watch 2 streams of high definition digital TV simultaneously, watch one and record another or record both channels at the same time. It incorporates 2 HDTV tuners on one PCI card,
sparing a PCI slot for systems builders and endusers looking to install 2 TV tuners in their desktop PC. The Dual Digital also lets you have a Picture-in-Picture mode or Multiple Viewer mode, record TV in DVD/MPEG-2 format, schedule record in PC hibernation mode, pause and replay live TV with Time shifting, capture high resolution still images, capture analogue video from a VCR, and supports Electronic Program Guides (EPG) and subtitling.

The Hybrid is both an analogue and high definition digital TV tuner card for desktop PCs, designed for end-users who require full TV coverage, digital or analogue. It also features Time Shifting for pausing and replaying live TV, scheduled recording, support for EPG, analogue video capture for digitizing video from a VCR or analogue camcorder, still image capture from TV or video, and converts native recorded HDTV files into DViX DVD or MPEG-4 formats.

Both the FusionHDTV Dual Digital & Hybrid are compatible with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system (MCE2005) which means users of Media Center home PCs can view and record hi-definition TV along with the convenience of playing back all the multimedia files in the PC.

The FusionHDTV Dual Digital is currently available and priced at $325 inc.GST. The FusionHDTV Hybrid retails for $249.
