[. . . ] The perfect solution for all series fans or movie collectors is the built-in digital video recorder. Program a recording or simply press record while the program is underway--the program is saved to your hard drive in DVD format (MPEG 2). Now you can quickly edit out the commercials from your recording and burn the final product to DVD--all in one convenient working interface. It's just as easy to connect a video recorder or DVD player to the audio and video inputs (composite, S-Video, stereo audio) of the Cinergy A USB XS. This allows you to digitize, for example, your old family videos or create a fully legal backup copy of your newly purchased DVD movie. The ArcSoft TotalMedia 2 software included in the package has even more capabilities: as you would expect of a full-fledged media center, you can listen to music, play videos and DVDs, or browse through your picture collection and create a slide show. The remote control included in the package provides the level of living room convenience you are familiar with. By the way: not only can you use it to change channels conveniently, but also to control a wide variety of multimedia applications on your computer. . . . your TerraTec Team Key features. · 4 Analog TV on desktop and laptop computers Cinergy A USB XS Hardware (English) · · · · · · · · · · Timer-controlled recording and time shifting Teletext Power supply via USB USB 2. 0 high-speed interface, 480 Mbps Infrared remote control Digital video recorder with complete MPEG2 support Analog video inputs via: S-Video, composite Stereo audio input Full-fledged media software with integrated functions for editing and burning recordings from TV 2 years warranty System requirements. · · · · · · · · Intel Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon XP 2GHz CPU or higher or Centrino-certified laptop 512 MB RAM 1 free USB 2. 0 interface Audio hardware with DirectX support CD-R/DVD-R drive to create video CDs/DVDs Graphics card with DirectDraw drivers and video overlay support Analog TV reception via cable or roof antenna Windows XP with ServicePack 2 Scope of delivery. · · · · · · · · · · TerraTec Cinergy A USB XS USB 2. 0 extension cable (0. 3m) Antenna adapter cable Multi-connector cable with video/audio/infrared remote control inputs Infrared remote control including batteries Installation & software CD-ROM Online manual (on CD-ROM) Service request form Registration documents Quick Setup Guide Cinergy A USB XS Hardware (English) 5 The hardware at a glance.
