PVR TVIX PVR can play HDTV without a digital TV set-top box with excellent and super-clear display on HDTV screens The TViX PVR is designed for high definition digital terrestrial TV receptions within TViX environment in compliance with the ATSC digital terrestrial standard.. TViX PVR has the various recording features like direct recording/scheduled recording and repeated manual recording, so you cannot miss single program of digital TV. It's a completely different type of PVR since you can easily upgrade and expand the capacity of HDD by themselves like PC upgrading. And you can backup the recorded file to/from the PC. TViX PVR implements all the ATSC features like EPG/scheduled recording/ PCconnectivity and this will let user enjoy all the fruits of the digital broadcasting as well as the supreme audio and video qualities. You can use the scheduled recording and scheduled watch using this EPG window. When using the HDTV mode, you can configure the sleep time. If the sleep time is reached when the recording is in progress, the TViX will shut down after finishing the recording . This model does not support analog (NTSC) broadcasting. If you want to use the analog channel, you have to use the RF splitter.(We don't support RF splitter in the package.) We don't have any warranty or responsibility for the recoding file. 6 1.2 Multimedia Player TViX HD is a standalone, multimedia hard disk player which plays digital videos, digital music, digital still images and DVD files to a TV display and home entertainment system. You can enjoy digital contents in your living room without having to burn discs or having to play it back on a DVD or CD player anymore. TViX HD plays back DVD movies with the full functionality of DVD navigation. You can create your own virtual DVD library by storing your personal collection of DVDs in .ISO or .IFO format and watch them exactly as if they were running from the original DVDs (all original features included: Menu, Chapter, Audio Stream, Subtitle, Fast Forward, Rewind, Slow, Pause, Step Forward, Repeat, Search etc.). TViX HD plays back high definition video (up to 1920x1080P) and still images. Prerecorded HDTV programs from a digital TV set-top box or personal digital video contents taken by a HDVTM camcorder can be played back with the TViX HD on a high definition display. The TViX HD features a HDMI connector and component, which will match the high resolution of HD level video contents. Using the latest EM8623 processor, TViX HD supports the latest multimedia formats MPEG-4 AVC(H.264), VC-1( MP@HL, AP@L3), WMV9 & WMV HD as well as MPEG4 3.11,4.0 , 5.0. H.264 is a brand-new and superb compression technology today. It makes you more stunning HD movie with lower storage capacity. HDMI provides unparalleled qualities to digital video and audio, while DVI only serves digital video. You don't have to mess around with several AV cables. It provides single, pure and simple way to connect your display. It can deliver uncompressed digital video up to 1080p as well as multi-channel digital audio. TViX HD supports DTS hardware decoder to mix DTS sound into 2 channels for a more dynamic sound quality. The TViX HD can be networked with a PC system using its built-in LAN port. You are able to navigate to a PC file through TViX HD's wired or wireless network and play the file from its original destination without having to copy it into the TViX first. We're supporting the file copy via LAN. With two USB2.0 host ports, you can now attach additional external USB hard drives to further extend the storage capacity. You can also playback files from a digital camera, USB flash driver, USB flash card reader, or a MP3 player. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. ** For the further functions, please refer to following FAQ - http://www.tvix.co.kr/eng/faq 7 1.3 Audio Player TViX HD can play a variety of audio files such as FLAC, MP3, Ipod M4A, Ogg Vorbis or WMA (Windows Media Audio) through the TV speaker and any other audio systems. You can listen to your favorite music files nonstop, by organizing a custom winamp playlist. Now you can enjoy music all day without changing CDs. TViX supports the internet radio of shoutcast streaming format(.pls,.m3u). You can watch picture slideshows with the option of background music (supports music slideshows using picture images). 1.4 External Storage If you connect to a USB 1.1 port, the TViX HD will work at USB 1.1 speed, so we strongly recommend that you use USB 2.0. It can be used as an external device to save video, audio, image files, data, program backups, etc. USB 2.0 enables TViX HD to become an external storage device which supports up to 480Mbps. It supports Plug & Play, so Windows will automatically recognize TViX HD. If you connect the USB port when playing the TViX HD, the VFD will show as USB ON. When you disconnect the USB, you do not have to reboot the TViX HD for continuous use. If you are a Windows98SE user, you should download a USB storage driver from our website www.tvix.co.kr/Eng before you connect your TViX HD with your system. You do not need to install a driver in Windows ME/2000/XP. You can download NetShare installer from our website www.tvix.co.kr/Eng before you configure NFS network. If you select to NFS mode, you can play the TP or DVD jukebox without stutter. 8 1.5 Specifications Sigma Design EM8623 7 Alpha-Numeric Character 5 Digit Numeric Display Format :.wmv, .avi, .mpg, .vob, .mp4, .asf, .tp, .trp , .IFO, .ISO, .m2t,.m2ts , .mov(H.264) Codec : MPEG 1 / 2 / 4, AVI, XVID, WMV9(MP@HL), H.264/ AVC(HD) , VC-1(MP@HL, AP@L3) Resolutions up to 1920*1080P MP3, WMA, AAC, Ogg, PCM, M4A, AC3,FLAC, WAV DTS Pass Through and Down Mixing Lossless JPEG (Progressive JPEG not Support) USB2.0 Host 2 Ports USB2.0 Target 1 Port LAN (10/100Mbps) Main Chipset VFD Display Video Audio Photo Connectivity WLAN 802.11g (optional) Multi I/O Jack (Optional Breakout Box) ATSC DTV Antenna port(Korea / USA/CANADA) Video AV In / Out HDMI 1.1, Component, S-Video, Composite Audio Digital : Coaxial, Optical / Analog: Stereo File Formats File Formats Subtitle Hard Disk ODD Support Language FAN NTFS, FAT32 DTV Recording : 7200rpm, NTFS NTFS, FAT32(S-ATA HDD only, supports S- ATA 1,2) DTV Recording : 7200rpm, NTFS Text Subtitle : smi,sub,srt,lrc,txt Image Subtitle : sub (with idx) SATA HDD only (SATA I, SATA II HDD) Through USB 2.0 Host English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Czech, Russian, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Korean 40mm Brushless FAN FAN Control Temperature Sensing, Variable Speed Flash ROM 16 Mbyte Internal Power Shape Dimension Weight 90~240V Free Voltage Cylindrical 131mm (Diameter) 185mm (Height) 1,200g (without HDD) 1,800g (with HDD) 9 2 Name of Each Part 2.1 Unit Control Basic functions can be done without the remote control.
