AVID/Pinnacle Announces HDTV Tuner for Macs

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007 at 2:30 PM - by

AVID Technology, Inc. announced on Tuesday that its consumer division, Pinnacle, will be entering the U.S. market with an ultra-portable HDTV tuner for Macs. The Pinnacle TV for Mac HD Stick allows customers to receive ATSC/HDTV over the air in addition to NTSC.

"The USB 2.0 interface enables high-quality video streaming to the Mac. Pinnacle TV for Mac Sticks are USB powered and therefore require no external power supply. They just plug directly into the Mac’s USB 2.0 port and come with a remote control so that users can sit back and enjoy television programs with the same comfort as a traditional TV viewing experience. The sticks connect to an external antenna thanks to the built-in, standard antenna input and also come with a mini antenna for use outdoors or in buildings where there is no external TV antenna," the announcement said.

The Pinnacle TV for Mac HD Stick will ship starting in March from the Pinnacle Systems Website and is bundled with the Elgato EyeTV Lite TV viewing and recording software. It is priced at US$129.00.
