FREMONT, CALIFORNIA (June 16, 2008) - For the consumer who needs to watch one thing while recording another, ASUS, producer of innovative multimedia products, introduces a new PCI-express TV tuner, the ASUS My Cinema - PE9400 Combo. This versatile add-in card supports both digital (ATSC/QAM) and analog (NTSC) TV formats, and features an MPEG2 hardware encoder to reduce CPU loading with high-quality video output – allowing users to enjoy an all-in-one PC multimedia package.
High Quality PC TV Solution
The My Cinema - PE9400 Combo allows users to watch and record high-quality digital (ATSC/QAM) and analog (NTSC) TV programs on their PCs simultaneously. This card adopts a 500 Mb/s PCI Express x1 interface, which is 3 times faster than the default PCI bus (133Mb/s) in transmission speed. An embedded MPEG2 hardware encoder dramatically reduces CPU loading whilst guaranteeing high-quality video when processing transmissions. This allows users to surf the Internet and record TV programs without degrading performance. Additionally, the PE9400 Combo leverages hardware noise reduction technology, which minimizes video artifacts.
Combo TV for Concurrent Digital and Analog TV
The ASUS My Cinema-PE9400 Combo combines the advantages of analog and digital TV receivers. With the built-in PBP (picture beside picture) and PIP (picture in picture) functions, users can watch either analog TV or digital TV while recording a channel, or record both at the same time.
User-friendly Multimedia Features
The ASUS My Cinema - PE9400 Combo helps with scheduling recordings, editing home movies, editing and burning DVD/VCDs, listening to FM and MP3 music or sorting videos and photographs. It also provides a means to monitor the home with the ASUS VideoSecurity Online technology for a home monitoring system.
Easy Channel Surfing with "Microsoft MCE Certified Remote" Controller
The full function remote control puts TV viewing, TV recording, EPG viewing, and DVD playback; in the palm of your hand. Never miss a moment of your favorite TV program with the live “pausing” of TV programs.
