1.1 TViX PVR Function
The TVIX PVR can play HDTV without a digital TV set-top box
with excellent and super-clear display on HDTV screens. The TViX
PVR supports standard DTV features, such as EPG and Time-
shifting.
DVICO Inc has no responsibility for recorded programs or files made or distributed
for purposes of illegal, commercial, or transactional activities. The party or parties
who record or distribute the contents bear all responsibility (Civil or Criminal) direct
or indirect.
1. Introduction
English
Time shifting is the recording of programming to a storage medium
to be viewed or listened to at a time more convenient to the
consumer. Being interrupted while watching live TV programs (such as
pick up phone calls & answer the door), all you need to do is simply
press the OK button to freeze the picture for a period of time and
then later press OK again to pick up right where you left off.
Note: You cannot use the DTV time-shifting on FAT32 partitions, so
we recommend that you format your 3.5” SATA HDD to NTFS.
The TViX PVR has various recording features, including direct
recording, scheduled recording, and repeated manual recording,
to enable the user not to miss a single program of digital TV. It's a
completely different type of PVR since you can easily upgrade and
expand the HDD capacity yourself, similar to PC upgrading. And you
can back up the recorded file to/from the PC. Also, it can capture
external analog video as well as analog TV signals.
The TViX PVR implements DTV features such as EPG-scheduled
recording and PC-connectivity to let the user enjoy all the fruits of
digital broadcasting as well as supreme audio and video qualities. You
can set up scheduled recording and scheduled watch using the EPG
window. Note: The EPG is not supported in analog TV or external
input (A/V-in) modes.
When using the DTV mode, you can easily configure the sleep
time with the FUNCTION key. If the sleep time is reached when a
recording is in progress, the TViX will shut down after finishing the
recording. In the file list mode, the FUNCTION key performs the File
copy/delete and password functions.


1.2 Multimedia Player Function
The TViX is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player that plays
digital videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD files
to a TV display and home entertainment system. You can enjoy
digital contents in your living room without having to burn
discs or having to play it back on a DVD or CD player anymore.
TViX plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation.
You can create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal
collection of DVDs in .ISO or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if
they were running from the original DVDs (all original features included:
Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind, Slow, Pause,
Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.).
TViX plays back high-definition video (up to 1920x1080i) and still images.
Pre-recorded HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal
digital video contents taken by a camcorder can be played back with the
TViX on a high-definition display. The TViX features a HDMI connector,
which will match the high resolution of HD-level video contents.
HDMI provides unparalleled qualities to digital video and audio, while DVI
only serves digital video. With HDMI you don’t have to deal with several
AV cables. It provides single-cable way to connect your display and sound.
It can deliver uncompressed digital video up to 1080i as well as digital
audio.
TViX has a DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a
more dynamic sound quality.
The TViX can be networked with a PC system using either a wired network
or its optional wireless network. You are able to navigate to a PC file
through TViX’s wired/wireless network and play the file from its original
location without having to copy it into the TViX first. Also, TViX’ FTP
server supports file copying via LAN.
With two USB2.0 host ports, you can attach additional external USB hard
drives to further extend the storage capacity. You can also play back files
from a digital camera, USB flash drive, USB flash card reader or a MP3
player.
