Experience the variety of entertainment available on your computer. With the Cinergy S PCI, you can now turn your laptop or computer into a full-fledged TV with radio capabilities. Getting to your first TV show takes just a few steps. Simply plug the PCI card into an available slot and install the TV cable (digital LNB required!) and software. Done! Now you're receiving hundreds of TV channels from all over the world in DVB-S standard, which you can save to your hard drive, edit and burn with just a few clicks of the mouse. Its low-profile design makes the Cinergy S PCI ideal for home theatre computers (HTPC)!
Digital video recorder
Record all programmes in highest MPEG 2 quality with the push of a button or via timer. You have the choice between manual and timed recording—even remote programming via Internet is supported. The computer boots up from standby or sleep mode precisely when the chosen television show begins and then saves it on your hard drive automatically. No matter how you plan your recordings, they can be viewed immediately, even while the recording is in progress.
Perfect television viewing on your computer
The Cinergy S PCI has even more capabilities when used in conjunction with TerraTec Home Cinema software: Automatic optimisation of aspect ratio, picture-in-picture function, Dolby digital (AC3) recording, teletext and subtitles, and user-defined favourites lists (genre, location), multi-tuner support, readily available help functions, and the commercial editor Cut!, which now makes it even easier to remove blocks of commercials. Sleek, and easy on your computer's resources, user-friendly, yet multifunctional—with the TerraTec Home Cinema, TerraTec has finally made the experience of watching television on your computer both real and complete! With the all-round solution from TerraTec, including remote control, you can enjoy perfect ease of use that is otherwise only available with expensive, hard-drive-based receivers.
Analogue inputs
The Cinergy S PCI is also equipped with inputs for analogue video and audio signals (S-Video, composite, stereo audio), with which you can import analogue videos from camcorders and video recorders to your computer. Back up your old videotapes and get ready for the digital future!
The complete package
The Cinergy S PCI is a complete package. The TerraTec Home Cinema TV software included in the package provides a convenient way to use all of the television functions. A convenient remote control and corresponding infrared sensor cable are included.
