The HD PVR 2 records video at up to 1080p from a DVR or satellite or cable TV set top box or a video game console. HD PVR 2 can record from either HDMI (without HDCP protection) or Component Video at up to 1080p. You can record TV programs from a DVR and free up space on the DVR for more recordings. Create a library of your favorite TV programs. Or use the included WinTV v8 application to schedule TV recordings directly from a cable TV or satellite set top box.
HD PVR 2 contains a studio quality video encoder, and records at resolutions up to 1080P30. The H.264 format is used by Blu-ray discs and exceeds other video compression standards in quality and disk space consumption, providing a crisp image and amazing digital sound. H.264 uses 1/3 the disk space compared with the popular MPEG-2 format. And with HD PVR 2's S/PDIF optical audio input, your audio will be as amazing as the video!
