Hauppuage HD-PVR: 1080i H264 Capture over Component

Interesting product, says you can preview in real time as well as capture at the same time due to the component output, looking for something like this, so realtime video out. i.e buffer and capturing, but USB 2.0 has limited bandwidth must be a pretty good H264 Hardware encoder onboard, 1080i at 13Mb/s capture is a nice figure, as well as stereo spdif and RCA in, would be great for capturing off video game consoles...

Wonder what the price is, think it's aimed at the US market though, anyone going to import?

Looks like it uses a chip similar to those used for the AVCHD capturing in HD Camcorders

Hauppauge UK should (hopefully) be selling it by the end of May.

If US prices translate straight across, it could cost £125 - which would make it the bargain of the century and perfect for transferring Sky HD to PC.

I can't wait!

Are you sure that the European and US are the same?

Did they give you an ETA on delivery?

Thanks

Re: Hauppuage HD-PVR: 1080i H264 Capture over Component

Should be available in the UK within the next 3 weeks according to Hauppauge.

Now listed on their website:

http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/prod...ata_hdpvr.html

(notice the lack of dd5.1 on the audio side - this was on the original page in the US, but isn't working from release and is promised in a future firmware upgrade (supposedly by July) )

Congrats gurka,

Would appreciate your views on it once you've have a chance to play a bit and let us know what the quality of the recordings is like.

Re: Hauppuage HD-PVR: 1080i H264 Capture over Component

Hi Pip, just back from the pub so excuse any typos !

Well...hmmm to be quite honest with you, I wish I had SKY HD ! using the Humax HDI2000 means you need to actually be in to set the record as it has no hard drive (The provided ArcSoft program has no timer recordings ) and MCE does not support it yet (There was a rumour that hauppauge would release a mce plug in so will wait out for it).

Capturing at 720 or 1080i from the PS3 is brillaint ! BR is quality is perfect for me. My unit has a slight issue that is has to be on it's side with a small fan on it !! (Check over at the avsforums . com) but it looks like the unit either overheats or there is a driver problem.

The best thing I like about it is the fact that I can record off the Humax and then burn to AVCHD (for playback on the PS3 !), will try to record as much of the Euro Matches as possible !!

Am off to noddy land ! just check the recording of the Czech vs Switzerland and image quality is excellent !

All in all, would reccomend for anyone that wants a HD capturing device ! but would not reccomend if you expect it to work without a few tweaks !

Re: Hauppuage HD-PVR: 1080i H264 Capture over Component

Cheers gurka, will probably give it a go when it comes out over here. Just hope my SkyHD box with it's component out never needs replacing with the new non-component version

Here you go: http:// rapidshare.de /files/39682883/2008_6_10_19_0_34.zip.html

Borrowed from the sage tv forums, obviously there is a slight 1 second delay between the controller movement and on screen response

Re: Hauppuage HD-PVR: 1080i H264 Capture over Component

Hopefully mine is about to ship...................................(got my final cost email referred to above)

We have received your order for one unit of HD PVR at the cost of US$249.00 per unit. In addition to the cost of the unit there is a US$12.50 shipping fee plus VAT at the Irish rate of 21% (Total US$316.42). All our units ship with DHL from our warehouse in Ireland. Non-EU customers are also responsible for any additional customs and duties charges that may be incurred.

Shipping Address:

Hopefully it will be the updated version which addresses the overheating and switched LR issues
