 | Product Review, Turbo.264"Réencoder une vidéo d’un format vers un autre est une opération très consommatrice en temps calcul. L’ordinateur doit lire la vidéo DivX, par exemple, tout en la réencodant au format H.264. La clé turbo. 264 d’Elgato réduit le temps d’encodage en fournissant au Mac un coprocesseur spécialisé. Le processeur central ne s’occupe alors que de la lecture et de menues autres opérations, le réencodage étant réalisé par la clé." Read Article Lisez l'article | |

 | Gift Guide, Turbo.264"The Turbo.264 from Elgato is really handy if you watch a lot of video on your iPod or iPhone. Video files that you download onto your iPod first need to be converted into the compressed H.264 video format. This can take a long time – even with a powerful Mac – so the Turbo.264 includes a special video processor that dramatically speeds up the conversion process and leaves your Mac's main processor free so that you can carry on doing other things at the same time."

It includes two TV tuners which allow you to watch two programs at once or, more usefully, watch one program and record another. It's a digital tuner so you need to live in an area with good digital reception, but Elgato also makes a Hybrid model that can pick analogue TV signals in areas with poor digital reception."

The digital TV and radio reception is as good as that of its predecessor, but what makes this unit really shine, is its ability to decode analogue FM radio stations." Read Article | |

 | Product Review, EyeTV DTT Deluxe"Ce tuner, à peine plus large qu’un connecteur USB, ne gène pas le branchement d’autres périphériques. Sans son capuchon et reliée au Mac, la clé ne mesure que 4,4 cm pour une épaisseur de 1 cm, l’ensemble pesant la bagatelle de 8 g. Autant dire que ce modèle s’accorde à merveille avec un MacBook Air." Read Article | |

 | Buying advice"Elgato's tuners have worked well for me in recent years. One model, the EyeTV Hybrid, is a USB stick much like the Windows sticks. Another model, the EyeTV 250 Plus, boasts a more powerful hardware 'encoder' for higher-quality recordings. It is a good choice for those on desktop Macs, especially older machines needing added encoding muscle." Read Article | |

 | Product Review, EyeTV 250 Plus"I’m sure you are asking, who might this system be for? First off, I could say this is probably a college student’s dream to have his T.V. on his computer, and to have all these features, and be simple to use. Also, for someone who has a vast VHS collection this is a painless device to transfer your VHS to DVD. And for someone who doesn’t want to pay for a Tivo or DVR this is really the best alternative. iPhone owners should be interested because you can watch your shows on your iPhone, and that feature is huge, and uhm you don’t have to pay Mr. iTunes for your shows or movies anymore."

 | Product Review, EyeTV 250 PlusBefore I got the EyeTV 250 plus, I missed a lot of good TV. And it was either too expensive or too much trouble to get television programs and movies into my Mac and then onto my iPhone, iPod, or AppleTV. Now, I never miss a program I like and have the ability to take them with me wherever I go on my iPhone or iPod. I know there are cheaper ways to do some of these things, but I don't think there are better or easier ones. I'm enjoying the heck out of TV again and I owe it all to the EyeTV 250 plus.I have had several video watching/recording systems in the past but this is the first one I like enough to use regularly.

 | News Article WWDC“If you need to be Google to run your software on the iPhone, then it might as well be a closed system because other Apple developers are not in that league,” said Florian Dejako, vice president of software engineering for Elgato Systems, a German software company with U.S. headquarters in San Francisco.The company develops a program that streams and records live television on the Mac. Users will be able to transfer the recordings to the iPhone, as they already can for the iPod, but the company could offer even more features—such as live streaming television on the iPhone—if Apple opened the cell phone to outside developers such as itself. “There’s always hope,” Dejako said. But “we don’t expect that to change anytime soon.” Read Article | |
