Hauppauge Announces Colossus HD Video Recorder for PCs
Hauppauge today announced the Colossus, an internal (PCI Express Card) High Definition video recorder for real-time H.264 compressed recordings. The Colossus can record component video (YCrCb) and HDMI at resolutions up to 1080i from video game consoles, cable TV and satellite set top boxes, making it perfect for those wanting to record their favorite high-definition content straight to their PC’s hard drive. The Colossus was shown off at CES 201 and was released in North America with an MSRP of $159, but you can find it online for $129.99 plus shipping. The press release today is coming out of London, so we think that this product just came to market over there.
“We have had phenomenal success with our external HD personal TV recorder, the Hauppauge HD-PVR. Due to high demand we have now released an internal version of this product and included an HDMI input so that users can now record directly from any un-encrypted HDMI source too. The bundled Hauppauge WinTV v7 application ensures you stay on top of your favourite TV programs and shows, by allowing you to automatically schedule recordings of your favourite programs, be it a one off program or an entire series,” said Yehia Oweiss, Hauppauge Digital’s Vice President of Sales EMEA. “Colossus enables gamers to now have an integrated solution built into their desktop PCs. They can continue recording their gaming results and techniques and share their best game play action from their Xbox360 or PlayStation 3 game consoles with their fellow gamers to show off their gaming skills”, Oweiss continued.
