With the revolutionary breakthroughs in digital television technology, consumers are increasingly finding greater enjoyment in digital television in its various forms. The conversion to digital television offers dramatic improvements over analogue technology, including High Definition Television (HDTV), multicasting, enhanced TV programming and the ability to deliver new services to consumers. Pinnacle Systems offers consumers the opportunity to maximise this new broadcast technology through its latest line of PCTV tuner products. Users have the ability to utilise analogue or DVB-T technology.
The latest Pinnacle PCTV products incorporate Pinnacle MediaCenter software, which provides complete, premium solutions for turning the PC into a TV, PVR and entertainment centre. Pinnacle PCTV products include internal and external solutions extending to analogue and digital solutions. Advanced PVR features include remote-controlled EPG and direct-to-DVD recording.
