[. . . ] WinTV-PVR-150 WinTV-PVR-250 WinTV-PVR-350 WinTV-PVR-usb2 Installation and Reference Manual WinTV-PVR Installation and Reference Manual FCC Statement Radio Interference Statement: The WinTV boards have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] if you are using MPEG-2 4. 0MB/sec, about 2 Gigabytes per hour is used for the Pause buffer. So for a 30 minute buffer, then set the Limit Pause Mode Buffer Size to 1000 MBytes. - Delay counter: The Delay counter displays how much time you are behind the live video. For example, if the delay counter says 00:01:23, then the video window is showing video 1 minute and 23 seconds behind live video. Pause button: Clicking the Pause button or OTP button causes WinTV to start saving a audio and video stream (referred to as an A/V stream) into the WinTV's Replay Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized and for Pause to become effective. Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to start playing from the point where the button was originally pushed. Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live mode. For example, you can change volume, resize the TV window, go into "no-title mode", etc. While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For example, if the Video Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Replay or Pause as many minutes as you would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer. While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay Buffer. To stop saving the A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must exit the Pause mode by clicking the TV mode button. 4-2 WinTV-PVR Installation and Reference Manual Replay button: While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the Instant Replay you see on TV broadcast sporting events: the audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you have previously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go back 10 seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video you saw 10 seconds ago, you would click the Replay button once. If you want to see the video you saw one minute ago, you would need to click the Replay button six times. For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab the Video Position indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once you let the control bar go, audio/video starts to play (it might take a few seconds for the WinTV2000 application to start playing). You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and right to find the desired spot to start replaying audio/video. While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded in the Replay Buffer. Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3 times (so that you are replaying the audio/video seen 30 seconds ago), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30 seconds behind the "live" audio/video program. Skip Ahead Button: Clicking the Skip button will skip the video ahead 10 seconds. Rewind Button: Clicking the Rewind button while playing video will rewind the recorded video. Clicking the Rewind button again will continue the playing. 4-3 WinTV-PVR Installation and Reference Manual Fast Forward Button: Clicking the Fast Forward button one time will fast forward your video at 2X speed. Clicking the Fast Forward button two times will fast forward your video at 8X speed. Slow Motion Button: Clicking the Slow Motion button, will play the video in Slow Motion.
