1.1 TVX-HD PVR Function
The TVX-HD PVR can play HDTV broadcasts without a
digital TV set-top box, with excellent and super-clear
pictures on HDTV screens. The TVX-HD 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 any illegal purposes. 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 a function that allows the user to record broadcasts,
and save them in a storage device so that they can be viewed at a more
convenient time for the user. When you are interrupted while watching a
live TV program (such as picking up phone calls & answering the door),
all you need to do is simply press the OK button to freeze the picture
for a period of time, and then press OK again later in order to restart
it from where you have left off. Note: You cannot use the DTV time-
shifting on FAT32 partitions, so we recommend that you format your
SATA HDD to NTFS.
The TVX-HD PVR has various recording features, including direct
recording, scheduled recording, and repeated manual recording, to help
the user not to miss a any programs on digital TV. It's a completely
different type of PVR since you can easily upgrade and expand the HDD
capacity yourself, which is similar to PC upgrading. And you can back up
recorded files to/from a PC. In case of dual tuner, you can watch other
channels while recording a program of your choice.
TVX-HD PVR implements DTV features such as EPG-scheduled recording
and connection to PC, to let the user enjoy all the dainty bits of digital
broadcasting as well as supreme audio and video qualities. You can set
up scheduled recording and scheduled watching using the EPG window.
When using the DTV mode, you can easily reserve for sleep mode
time with the FUNCTION key. If the sleep mode is enabled while it is
still recording something, the TVX-HD will shut down after it finishes
recording. In the file list mode, the FUNCTION key performs the File
copy/delete and password functions.


1.2 Multimedia Player Function
The TVX-HD is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player that
plays digital videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD
files on TV screens and home entertainment systems. You can
enjoy digital contents in your living room without having to burn
discs or to play it back on a DVD or CD player anymore.
TVX-HD 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 the original features
are included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind,
Pause, Repeat, Search etc.).
Using the latest multimedia processor, TVX-HD supports the latest
multimedia formats such as MKV, MPEG-4 AVC(H.264), VC-1( MP@HL, AP@
L3), WMV9 & WMV HD as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 , 5.0. and H.264, which
is a brand-new and superb compression technology. It can now play more
stunning HD movies with lower storage requirements.
HDMI provides unparalleled qualities to digital videos and audios, while DVI
only serves digital videos. With HDMI you don’t have to deal with multiple
AV cables. It lets you make a connection to digital videos as well as audios,
and enjoy them with just one cable. It can deliver uncompressed digital
video up to 1080P as well as digital audio.
TVX-HD has a DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels
for a more dynamic stereo sound quality.
The TVX-HD can be networked with a PC system using either a wired
network or its optional wireless network adapter. You can navigate to a
PC file through TVX-HD’s wired/wireless network and play the file from its
original location without having to copy it into the TVX-HD first. Also, TVX-
HD’s FTP server and Samba server allow you to transfer files from your
PC. It also allows you to connect to network easily with uPnP support,
and it does not require an IP address. You can immediately playback uPnP
connected files.
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 cameras, USB flash drives, USB flash card reader or an MP3
player.
