Review: The Hauppauge HD-PVR
Hauppauge's HD-PVR is a video/audio capture device that samples "YPrPb" component video at HD resolutions of 480i (720x480 @ 30fps), 480p (720x480 @ 60fps), 720p (1280x720 @ 60fps) or 1080i (1920x1080 @ 30fps). The HD-PVR has attracted a lot of attention since it is able to bypass all digitial content controls and take advantage of the "analog hole", while doing so at a very affordable price. Previously, capture devices like the HD-PVR were priced 4 to 6 times the $200 price tag of the HD-PVR.
The HD-PVR is not a solution for capturing 1080p. The satellite and cable providers currently don't supply any 1080p content. All 1080p content available on BluRay media is supported by players that only output to HDMI (at 1080p), not component.
The HD-PVR's features include:
* H.264 video recording format
* AAC or AC3 audio recording formats
* 2 and 5.1 channel audio supported
* Composite, S-Video and YPrPB Component video inputs
* Stereo RCA or optical audio inputs
* Passthru outputs to external HDTV component inputs and optical audio
* IR Blaster for control cable/satellite Set Top Box (STB)
* USB 2.0 interface to host computer

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
