Keyfeatures

With the CableStar HD 2 HDTV card you will experience television in its new dimension. In addition to the TV and radio programmes of conventional television broadcasts with the Cable Star HD 2, you will also receive via cable the brilliant image and sound worlds of new High Definition Television (HDTV). HDTV offers televiewing pleasure of a hitherto unknown quality. The crystal-clear pictures are richer in detail, the colours are fuller and the contours sharper. The high sound quality provides an excellent, room-filling sound.

First-class equipment
A highlight of the already superb high-quality equipment is the EVE v2 video-processing software included in the product delivery. This software originally created by MainConcept offers many new professional features. In addition to video processing via Timeline and Storyboard, you also get a completely new concept for DVD authoring together with a burning function. Using this you can simply and rapidly produce your own VCDs, SVCDs and DVDs.

Additional features
Also included with the CableStar HD 2 is, amongst others, a timeshift function providing you with time-delayed TV viewing, a free-of-charge programme information service - TV info - (where you can access a five-day programme preview) and a video text function (which gives you round-the-clock access to all important news items).

Common interface (CI)
Finally you are also supplied with a CI slot with which the reception of encrypted programmes is possible (when using the appropriate CI module).

HDTV

HDTV stands for High Definition Television, thus for outstanding picture quality. With HDTV, pictures can be displayed in much greater detail and with much finer gradations. Contrast and contours are more precise and colours truer to their originals. Furthermore, the wide screen format on HDTV broadcasts corresponds much better to human visual perception. So it creates a more vivid impression overall.

DVR

DVR

An integrated digital video recorder (DVR) enables you to record digital TV and radio programmes without loss of quality. Besides recording and playing back TV and radio programmes, digital technology enables use of a wide range of additional handy features such as time-shifted television (Timeshift).

Timeshift

This very handy and popular type of recording enables you to start playing back while you are still recording. Hence recording and playback take place simultaneously. Recordings being played back can be stopped at any time and resumed again later. It is also possible to repeat favourite scenes and skip over unwanted sections. You can now set the start time and progress of a programme yourself.
