Tv på din Mac - så fungerar det

Att koppla en TV-mottagare till din Mac ger också fler fördelar. De stora hårddiskarna i dagens datorer kan användas för att spara inspelat material. Mottagarna från den tillverkaren som kommit längst har riktigt bra mjukvara som gör att du till exempel kan skapa smarta inspelningslistor för att exempelvis spela in alla TV-program som involverar CSI, men inte Miami och inga repriser. I helgen kommer det en videoguide som går igenom exakt hur det här fungerar.

Appletell reviews Elgato’s Turbo.264 HD

The Turbo.264 eats video for breakfast, and throws up compressed video just as soon as you look away. You know, to keep its dongle-like figure (we do not endorse bulimia). Seriously though, it’s made to compress video, which is why it kills just about anything else in a speed test.

It’s the definitive bridge between your Mac and living room. If you have a Mac, a PS3 and EyeTV, you might be me.

"The USB plug accelerates the conversion by a factor of Wow."

Review: Elgato EyeTV 250 Plus — Part 1.

Importing video is a snap and the software is capable of editing and exporting in a variety of formats and even makes iphone/ipod versions of your home movies.  Included is Toast Basic, a DVD burning utility making this little hardware software combo a onestop video shop.  Users like myself, who still want to use imovie and idvd will also find the EyeTV 3 software helpful as you can export directly into these programs with ease.

Test: Elgato Turbo.264 HD

Wesentlich einfacher und besser hätte man diese Art von Produkt kaum gestalten können. Die Hardware ist klein und anspruchslos, die Software hat ein ansprechendes Design, ist auch für den Video-Laien verständlich, und selbst der Profi wird durch die Unterstützung von Final Cut Pro und dem Compressor beglückt.

Review of Elgato Video Capture

"I love this device as it serves a genuine need I face on a regular basis. TV recorded on Sky+ and old videos on VHS are now easily transfered to a digital format using the Elgato device. In reality this little USB device will record virtually anything with an RCA or S-Video output.

The Elgato Video Capture package is a perfect combination of top quality video hardware coupled with really easy to use software. Analogue video brilliance !"
