Cinergy 400 TV mobile Hardware (English) 3

Welcome!

We're pleased that you have chosen a TerraTec ReceiverSystem and would like to congratu­late you on this decision. With the PCMCIA TV card of the TerraTec Cinergy series you've pur­chased a sophisticated product representing the state of the art of PC/TV technology. We're
convinced that our product will prove extremely useful to you and provide you with a great
deal of entertainment.

Before we go into detail, here's a foretaste of what you can expect:

Superior picture clarity. TerraTec's TV cards of the Cinergy series offer your eyes a needle­sharp TV picture that is always comfortably calm. This quality is created by a powerful receiver
component, not to mention a function that automatically reduces the so-called “picket-fence
effect” using a combination of modern chip technology and software-controlled deinterlacing.

Comprehensive software equipment. From current video drivers for Microsoft's WDM technol­ogy and a powerful operating software with numerous settings and recording functions, to
useful bundled software programs, the Cinergy software package is both highly functional
and comprehensively designed. The flexible software concept of the Cinergy TV cards sup­ports the installation of additional video compressors codecs—by third-party vendors that are
often available free of charge and which provide a range of fascinating options.

Multiple connections. Your Cinergy is equipped with a coaxial antenna jack for TV reception,
as well as a composite input and an S-video input for connecting other video units and high­quality SVHS components. To complete the connection options, the unit is also equipped with
audio input jacks.

We hope you enjoy your Cinergy TV card and would like to suggest that you browse this hope­fully entertaining manual when you get the chance. In addition to the important information
about its technology, we have outlined a number of typical applications wherever appropri­ate. We're convinced that even experienced users will profit from this guide.

Thanks for your attention—enjoy!

...your TerraTec Team
