Ocean Blue Software launches low-cost USB video recorder solution
The Bristol-based company’s new software has been developed as an affordable digital replacement for the VCR, and allows consumers to simply record TV programmes onto USB connected media.
Recordings can be selected directly from the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) and has the ability to display the list of recordings for easy selection without having to leave the TV environment. Standard features also include series link and the ability to pause live TV.
The company says that this software enables manufacturers to keep down the cost of the settop box or TV whilst still offering the user the ability to record and store TV programmes. There is no limit to the choice of storage size using a USB HDD, but the solution works just as well with USB memory stick, or even SD Memory card, either through a direct interface or USB adaptor.
“With the flexibility of a VCR and the ease of use of a PVR, the Sunrise USB Video Recorder Software gives manufacturers the opportunity to offer a low-cost PVR replacement,” says Ocean Blue.
