Miglia Technology has announced the US$199 TVMax+, a content collection hub for use with iPod, Apple TV and Macs. With it you can view shows on every screen in your home, from your living room to your iPod to your Mac. The TVMax+ also doubles as a TV tuner, so you can watch, pause and record TV shows.
It’s designed as a digital hub enabling you to connect a full range of video devices (including VCRs, camcorders, DVD players) using the coaxial and composite S-Video inputs, according to Miglia Chief Technical Officer Eric Ferraz. It comes with “new specially developed software that giving you the best possible performance from Miglia’s custom hardware,” according to Miglia. There’s no details on the software. Miglia once used Elgato’s EyeTV, but the two companies dissolved their partnership this week.
The TVMax+ offers real-time MPEG-4 capture and records all video content straight to your iPod and Apple TV (via iTunes). With it you can do things such as digitize VHS tapes to DVD using real time MPEG-2 compression. The TVMax+ has online EPG supporting both tvtv and TitanTV and an analog TV receiver for cable TV channels. It uses USB 2.0 for connectivity.
The device’s resolution support is standard definition (PAL/NTSC or Pal/SECAM). It can connect to an antenna or cable. The TVMax+’s recording formats include iPod Better, iPod Best, AppleTV, DVD ready MPEG-2, iMovie ready MPEG-4 and DivX.
It works with Mac OS X 10.4 or higher and requires a Mac with at least 256MB of RAM.
