The benefits include:
Convert your analog video tapes to digital format with EyeTV 200 and store or use it on
the Mac.
EyeTV’s intuitive software lets you manage all of EyeTV’s functions with ease on the
Mac, as opposed to struggling to learn the peculiarities of a new stand-alone device.
The EyeTV software makes it easy to edit video - so that future viewings are free of
unwanted content.
It is simple to burn DVDs or VideoCDs on the Mac to create an archived collection that
can be played on most standard DVD players.*
Adding extra hard drive space to store additional archived video is as easy as plugging in
a FireWire drive.
The recorded shows can be exported into different video formats, e. g. for further editing
in iMovie, iDVD or DVD Studio Pro.
If you receive a multilingual program you can switch between the languages.
EyeTV‘s optional Electronic Program Guide (EPG) from TitanTV is easy to use and can be
programmed remotely over the Internet.
Television access on the Mac is convenient, be it a quick weather update or following a
favorite soap opera. EyeTV explores new and exciting ways to enjoy TV.
Closed captions can be displayed superimposed on the EyeTV playback window
*Toast 6 Titanium is required to burn DVDs or VideoCDs.
Watch and Timeshift TV on the Mac
EyeTV 200 features an analog NTSC TV tuner and DVD-quality MPEG-2 video encoder that
let you watch live TV directly on the Mac, in pristine digital quality. MPEG-2 is a premium-qua-
lity video compression standard, which is the basis for DVD and Digital Television. With
EyeTV 200 it is also possible to capture in MPEG-1 format, to save space on your hard drive.
Television can play in its own window, side-by-side with other applications, at full screen or
even in the Dock. With the on-screen remote control, you can manage your television
viewing experience in many more options than normal TV. You can:
pause the program
repeat a favorite section
fast forward
This level of control is possible because EyeTV buffers images as it plays or records live tele-
vision, which gives you the ability to “shift time” within the television show.
EyeTV 200 also includes its own infrared remote control. All of EyeTV’s viewing and recor-
ding functions can be controlled remotely, allowing you to sit back and enjoy television on
the Mac, even from across the room.
