PCTV Tuners Drops Pinnacle, Goes Solo

In a move to streamline business, Avid Technology has sold Pinnacle long standing PCTV line to Hauppauge. The decision was made late last year, but the sales has just been completed recently, and Avid apparently made $1.9 million from the deal according to a filing. Now, PCTV Systems was founded under the control of Hauppauge, and it has become a separate entity.

Rest assured the new company will continue to support your tuners and to sell existing models (e.g. HD mini Stick and Ultimate HD Tuner) under the name of the product line series. We suppose Hauppauge or PCTV Systems will continue to license Pinnacle's Media Center as the TVCenter Pro TV software, and looks like everything from retail packaging to the actual product has to be reprinted with the new logo.
