Like to multitask? With Adaptec’s new AVC-3610, a dual TV-tuner with dual MPEG2 hardware encoders, you can watch the game while recording the news broadcast at the same time.
Because the encoding is on the actual tuners, you can be assured that you get the highest quality video despite the CPU your computer is running, which can also boost your laptop’s battery life. Also, it can capture FM radio, as well as control your satellite and cable receivers via infrared.
The AVC-3610 is available to OEM manufacturers, and will be bundled with certain computers such as HP’s zd8000 Media Center notebooks.Filed under USB Video Capture & USB Video Cards
