HAUPPAUGE, NY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 30, 1999--Hauppauge Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAUP), the leading developer and manufacturer of analog and digital video, TV and data broadcast receiver products for personal computers, today announced that it will demonstrate a prototype of its WinTV-HD(TM) Digital Television receiver at the 1999 Intel Developer Forum. Demonstrations will be shown at both Intel's Visual Computing (booth no.42) and TeraLogic, Inc. (booth no.70) in the Demo Showcase at the IDF, August 31-September 2, at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, California.
WinTV-HD will be another model in Hauppauge's line of Digital Television receiver cards for PC's. It has the ability to output directly to a high definition TV or PC monitor, and therefore is positioned to be the model of choice for "living room" PC's and high end consumer purchases.
Previously disclosed Digital Television products from Hauppauge include the "Air Modem(TM)", a receiver used for 19.4 Mbit/sec data delivery to PC's, and WinTV-D(TM), a Digital Television receiver used primarily for displaying DTV in a resizable window on a PC screen. Neither the "Air Modem" nor WinTV-D has the ability to output High Definition images to an HDTV or PC monitor.
The "Air Modem" has been shipping to software developers since earlier this year, while the WinTV-D is expected to begin shipments in September.
Hauppauge's WinTV2000 software, which will run during the demonstration on WinTV-HD hardware, is Hauppauge's latest TV-watching on the PC application. A single, easy-to-use human interface unites all of Hauppauge's products allowing the consumer to learn and use one "look and feel" for all TV-in-a-PC needs, be they analog, digital, or for external devices such as the new WinTV-USB(TM). WinTV2000 is shipping now, and is available as a free update to existing WinTV users from Hauppauge's web site.
"We are excited to be a part of the Intel Developer Forum and look forward to demonstrating one of Hauppauge's latest product developments, WinTV-HD," asserted Ken Plotkin, Hauppauge's Vice President of Marketing. He continued, "Our strategic relationships with Intel and TeraLogic are indicative of Hauppauge's ability to collaborate with innovators across a wide range of technology applications to further the convergence of the PC and TV."
"Hauppauge's progress in porting their WinTV2000 software to our high-definition DTV decoder chip is further evidence of their vision and technological capabilities," stated Peng Ang, CEO and chairman of TeraLogic, Inc. "This move puts them in a market-leading position to fully exploit the features of our groundbreaking Janus chip."
"Intel is pleased to support Hauppauge on their development of DTV products for the desktop. As a leader in analog and digital video TV and data receivers for the PC, Hauppuage's receiver products continue to compliment the PC as a universal data device to meet the growing needs of consumers," stated Jeff McCrea, director of marketing, Desktop Products Group.
