/in

TerraTec H5 für DVB-T, DVB-C, analoges Fernsehen und FM-Radio. TerraTec T5 für DVB-T mit zwei Tunern

Hybrid steht für Vielfalt und Optionen. Der neue USB-Universalempfänger TerraTec H5 für DVB-T, DVB-C und analoges Fernsehen verwandelt Netbooks, Notebooks und Desktop-Rechner in einen Fernseher mit HDTV-Unterstützung

inklusive UKW-Radio (RDS). Ein analoger Video-und Audioeingang, Elgatos Mac- und TerraTecs THC-PC-Software runden das Paket ab. Qualität ist ebenfalls Trumpf beim neuen TerraTec T5. Er ist ein kompakter TV-Stick mit zwei Empfängern für optimalen DVB-T-Empfang – auch in Randgebieten. Selbst im fahrenden Auto oder Zug liefert der T5 noch scharfe Bilder aufs Display – HDTV-Unterstützung und Dolby Digital inklusive. Beide Tuner kann man einzeln nutzen, dann ist gleichzeitiges Aufnehmen und Anschauen verschiedener Sendungen möglich, genauso wie die komfortable Bild-in-Bild-Funktion. Die TerraTec H5 und die TerraTec T5 sind ab sofort verfügbar und kosten jeweils 99,99 Euro (149 CHF).

Mit der TerraTec H5 wird jeder Rechner bequem zum Zweitfernseher. Dabei sind die Empfangsmöglichkeiten vielfältig: Das digitale Antennenfernsehen DVB-T lässt sich ebenso empfangen wie digitales Kabelfernsehen (DVB-C) und analoges Fernsehen und UKW-Radio. Der TerraTec H5 verfügt zudem über Eingänge für analoge Video- und Audiosignale (S-Video, Composite, Stereo-Audio), über die man analoge Videos von Camcordern und Videorekordern auf den Rechner importieren kann.

Der TerraTec T5 wird dank der integrierten Diversity-Funktionalität auch in DVB-T-Randgebieten zum vollwertigen Zweitfernseher. Dabei wird das Signal von gleich zwei Empfängern zu einem neuen, verbesserten Signal verrechnet. Das erlaubt bei gutem DVB-T-Empfang sogar Fernsehempfang während der Auto- oder Zug-Fahrt!

Wichtig für H5 und T5! Die handlichen TV-Sticks sind schon jetzt fit für den Empfang von hochauflösendem Fernsehen (HDTV) inklusive Sound in Dolby Digital-Qualität. Ein besonderer Mehrwert: In Deutschland entwickelte Windows-Software (TerraTec Home Cinema – THC) und Mac (Elgato EyeTV Lite) machen die TerraTec T5 und die TerraTec H5 universell einsetzbar. Beide sind einfach zu bedienen. Zeitversetztes Fernsehen, manuelle und zeitgesteuerte Aufnahmen in verlustfreier Qualität auf der Festplatte, elektronischer Programmführer (EPG) oder Videotext sorgen für ein ganz neues Fernseherlebnis.

Im Premium-Paket von TerraTec sind eine Reihe von Mehrwerten enthalten: hochwertige Komponenten, ein umfassendes Softwarepaket mit voller HDTV-Unterstützung, 36 Monate Garantie mit lebenslangem technischen Support, anspruchsvolles Design und unter Gesichtspunkten der Nachhaltigkeit gestaltete Verpackungen. Dazu gehört auch ein gedrucktes Handbuch in deutscher Sprache. Die Treiber und die Software – ebenfalls in Deutschland entwickelt – befinden sich auf einer mitgelieferten DVD. Regelmäßige, automatische Vollupdates via Internet garantieren volle Kompatibilität. Auch der Umweltschutz findet Beachtung: Die Produkte werden in weiter verwendbaren Blechschachteln geliefert.

Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB), announced today at ShoWest 2009 that exhibitors will now have the ability to play back content using Dolby® 3D Digital Cinema to provide a premium viewing experience in their largest auditoriums.

No excuses, no compromises, simply the right amount of light and a consistently beautiful image for screen sizes reaching all the way up to 70 feet," said Wim Buyens, Vice President Digital Cinema for Barco’s Media and Entertainment Division. „With Barco’s twin-projector offering and Dolby 3D for large screens, exhibitors can now move 3D audiences into their largest auditoriums to maximize 3D revenues."

Malco Theatres, the first to test Dolby 3D for large screens, recently used the solution to screen Walt Disney Pictures‘ Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience at its Malco Paradiso multiplex in Memphis, TN, and Malco Grandview in Madison, MS.

"Dolby continues to assist exhibitors by developing new ways to make the cinemagoing experience more immersive and this collaboration effort with Barco will help to bring 3D to the next level,“ said Mike Thomson, Vice President Operations and Technology, Malco Theatres. "The ability to play back Dolby 3D on our largest screens has been very successful."
