Morph Your Laptop into a Television Set, Leadtek Style

Digital television specialist Leadtek has introduced a new series of TV tuners, especially aimed at notebook and ultra-mobile PC users. The WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H is more than a digital tuner: it allows users to take advantage of a wide range of services, including analog and digital TV and FM radio.

Leadtek's newest TV tuner offering is not only ergonomically shaped for maximum portability, but it is also extremely user-friendly, thanks to its USB 2.0 interface with Plug-n-Play capabilities. Just plug it in and start watching your favorite show! Moreover, the unit draws its power directly from the USB bus, thus sparing the road-warrior from carrying an extra power adapter along with the device.

The WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H digital TV tuner can work with both high definition terrestrial DVB-T and worldwide analog TV signals in the most popular standards (NTSC, SECAM and PAL). The unit comes with built-in de-interlacing technology in order to deliver crisp, sharp images free of ghosting, blurring or flickering.

High definition enthusiasts can now enjoy the immersive experience of watching TV thanks to the built-in HDTV and Dolby Digital AC3 audio capabilities. The WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H digital tuner can also be set to synchronously record and playback DVD-quality TV shows in VCD / SVCD / DVD formats, or even to create a bridge between the notebook and an external signal source (VCR, camcorder and even high-definition games consoles).

Leadtek bundles the WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H offering with its exclusive WinFast PVR2 software suite that unlock new functionalities such as DirectBurn, Time Shifting, TwinView, Live Broadcasting, EPG (Electronic Program Guide) and Scheduled Recording. The new features can be accessed via the two-layer menu, either by using the notebook's keyboard, or the included Media Center remote control.

The WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H is on sale in Romania as well, through Leadtek's local retail partners.
