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. The Cinergy 200 TV, Cinergy 400 TV and Cinergy 600 TV Radio are all
equipped with coaxial antenna jacks for TV reception, as well as composite and SVHS inputs
for connecting secondary video units or high-quality SVHS components. The connection options are rounded out by audio inputs and outputs. The cable needed to connect the cards to
the sound card are included, of course.

Near and far. Owners of a Cinergy 400 TV or Cinergy 600 TV Radio can lean back and relax. The
provided remote control not only gives you full control over the entire range of TV software: A
simple to use software component even lets you program the buttons for remote use with just
about any Windows application.
Radio. Owners of a TerraTec Cinergy 600 TV Radio can take advantage of a second coaxial
antenna input for radio signals— including RDS and in stereo, of course. Simply find all available radio stations with an automatic scan and let RDS name them. Nothing could be easier!
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!
