Watch and record stereo TV on your PC
Record stereo television shows, grab high-quality
still pictures and archive them onto CDs or DVDs* with PCTV Stereo.
PCTV Stereo combines an internal television tuner card and Pinnacle's
Vision 5 recording software, providing you with the perfect solution
for recording television shows to your PC and backing them up onto SVCD*
or DVD*.
Experience the joys of time shifting
One of the most exciting features of PCTV Stereo
is the software's built-in TimeShifting technology, which lets you pause
a television show currently in progress. If, for example, you're in
the middle of watching an exciting sporting event and the telephone
rings, press the pause button and PCTV continues recording the show
in the background. When you finish your call, press the play button
to resume watching exactly where you left off. Of course depending on
how much of a particular show has been cached, you'll also be able to
rewind the program and fast forward through commercials!
Experience the highest picture quality
Using the latest tuner and video decoder technology,
PCTV Stereo couples phenomenal picture quality with features only found
on high-end set top personal video recorders. These features include
the ability to:
- View television on your computer monitor in full-screen mode,
or in a free, scalable window.
- View programming broadcast in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios
- De-interlace television programming in real time.
- Decode both CCIR-2 carrier FM and NICAM audio standards
- Record programs in either MPEG-1, MPEG-2*, or DV formats with
no file size restrictions
- Use your computer like a VCR and program it to record any show,
on any channel at any time.
Other features include, automatic channel scan,
which detects station names and a Multi-channel preview matrix, which
includes a display of detected channel names and continuously shows
a matrix of screenshots of all tuned channels.
