Point of View NVTV
The card is a simple half-height PCI card that follows the 2.2 busmastering spec. It uses a silicon TV tuner (top left), the original manufacturer of which I'm not sure about. The video input processor is a Philips SAA717 (bottom left). Together, they both feed an LSI Logic DVxplore MPEG-2 encoder (middle, under the heatsink) which can spit out DVD quality video in realtime with very little CPU assistance.
The LSI controller uses 16MB of memory, from a pair of Hynix HY57V643220CT-6, 6ns SDR DRAMs clocked at 166MHz, for buffer storage.
The card only accepts simple TV antenna (if sold in the U.K., other countries get their localised TV connector) and S-Video input, with no FM input present. A radio tuner is a separate add-on for basic NVIDIA Personal Cinema and NVTV systems. The small jack input is for audio input
Let's take a look at the bundle and presentation for the diminuitive card.
