Elgato EyeTV Hybrid
EyeTV Hybrid delivers free-to-view digital (DVB-T and DVB-C) and analogue television to your Mac via aerial and cable. With EyeTV Hybrid, you can also tune in to local FM radio on your Mac.
EyeTV Hybrid contains a full-size and built-in coaxial plug and does not require an adapter to connect cable or an aerial and comes with a composite (RCA) and S-Video break out cable to connect a variety of devices to your Mac, such as a set top box for premium channels and satellite, a VCR, or a camcorder.
<b>All-in-One TV for your Mac</b>
EyeTV Hybrid is the only TV tuner that delivers both digital and analogue TV to your Mac via aerial and cable. A superb all-round device, EyeTV Hybrid receives unencrypted digital TV via aerial (DVB-T, also known as DTT or Freeview), unencrypted cable (DVB-C), analogue cable and analogue aerial TV. In areas in which HDTV is broadcast, enjoy watching stunningly clear 720p or 1080i HDTV (MPEG-2 as well as H.264/AVC) on your Mac.
<b>FM Radio</b>
EyeTV Hybrid is the only EyeTV device that delivers FM radio to your Mac as well as television. Tune in, record your favourite radio programmes, and export them into iTunes to enjoy later on your iPod or iPhone.
<b>Superb quality digital TV recordings</b>
EyeTV Hybrid records digital TV in one quality setting, lossless. The digital stream is recorded unaltered for full quality digital content as encoded by the broadcaster. EyeTV Hybrid also supports multilingual programming and Dolby® Digital sound.
EyeTV Hybrid processes analogue signals using the encoder built into the EyeTV software together with your Mac’s processor. As a result, the quality of analogue video depends on the processor speed of your Mac.
<b>Made for the Mac</b>
With its classic matte aluminium finish and surprisingly small size for such a versatile product, the EyeTV Hybrid is a perfect complement to the Mac. It features a USB 2.0 interface for the streaming of superior quality TV content to your Mac. EyeTV Hybrid is USB powered and therefore requires no external power supply, and contains a built-in and full-size coaxial plug.
