Elgato’s new and smallest TV receiver to date, EyeTV DTT Deluxe, uses advanced chip technology to provide optimum DVB-T reception in an extremely compact enclosure. The micro stick fits into the USB port of any Mac without blocking other connections—even on the MacBook Air!
Quality without Compromise
EyeTV DTT Deluxe combines elegant design with state-of-the-art technology. Thanks to the included telescopic aerial, a rod aerial with magnetic base and detachable suction cup, and an adapter for a household aerial, EyeTV DTT Deluxe guarantees perfect DVB-T reception both at home and on the move. Despite its compact design, EyeTV DTT Deluxe is a powerful TV receiver that delivers crystal-clear full-screen images without compromising on quality. In areas where HDTV is broadcast via DVB-T, users can enjoy brilliant 720p or 1080i HDTV on a Mac, via both MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC.
Along with the two aerials and the adapter for connecting a household aerial, the package includes the award-winning EyeTV 3 software and the EyeTV Remote infrared remote control. Its features make EyeTV DTT Deluxe both a space-saving travel companion and a digital TV recorder that can be controlled comfortably from the sofa.
