The Hauppauge HD PVR “in the lab” at SnapStream
April 7th, 2008 at 8:16 pm by Rakesh
Since there’s been some excitement about the upcoming Hauppauge HD PVR product, I thought I’d share some photographs of Hauppauge’s new product “in the lab” here at SnapStream:
Here’s a photograph of the Hauppauge HD PVR prototype board itself — everyone had to be careful to ground themselves before handling it.
Here’s another pic of the HD PVR all wired up to a digital source via component video cables (those are the blue, green and red cables).
This one shows the HD PVR in action — the red light means Beyond TV is busy making a recording off this thing when the photograph was taken.
The final product — some good ‘ol baseball recorded on the Hauppauge HD PVR in Beyond TV
A close-up of the same frame (I took it without a flash, holding the camera in my hand, so there might be a slight blur)

Thanks for posting, looks like it works without a hitch in Beyondtv (since you recorded with it). That’s big news, worth a preorder. BTW, What are the file sizes per hour, at what resolution?

Can you give us your impressions of how the captured video compares visually to the pre-captured source video?

The Ambarella chips only handle stereo audio. I am trying to see what other chips there might be to handle digital audio
