AMD has announced the new ATI TV Wonder 650 Combo USB for Mac, which is described as “a new HDTV experience for Mac users.” It integrates two TV tuners to receive off-the-air ATSC/HDTV broadcasts as well as analog television programming.
This new TV tuner solution joins AMD’s six TV Wonder offerings for the PC platform. The ATI TV Wonder 650 Combo USB for Mac transforms Macs into TV entertainment systems, with full personal video recorder functionality, according to Matt Skynner, vice president, AMD Graphics Products Group. With the included ATI tvPORTAL TV application for Mac, users can watch, pause, or record high definition TV1.
Even analog TV is made brilliant on the Mac as the ATI TV Wonder 650 Combo USB for Mac produces sharp, true-to-life analog TV images, Skynner says. With full featured Electronic Programming Guide in ATI tvPORTAL, users can schedule and manage TV recordings.
With a manufacturers suggested retail price of US$149, the ATI TV Wonder 650 Combo USB for Mac is scheduled to be available later this month at leading computer retailers across North America. The ATI TV Wonder 650 Combo USB is being distributed by VisionTek, a supplier of 3D graphics and desktop enhancement products.
