Gefen TV High Definition Personal Video Recorder

This product has been superceded by the Gefen GTV-HD-PVR.

Instantly Records High-Definition Video

The Gefen High-Definition Personal Video Recorder (HD-PVR) allows consumers to implement the functions of a traditional video tape recorder or DVD recorder, but in an exciting new way using state-of-the-art removable SD flash memory devices and/or a built-in 80GB hard disk drive. Now, consumers can enjoy instant recording and versatile portability and playback of digital video, music, and digital pictures, all within one compact tabletop unit.

No More Missed Action!

You won't miss the action any more with the Gefen HD-PVR. With a touch of the IR Remote, you'll be able to instantly begin recording programs or video segments when inspiration strikes you. With the capacity to review, fast forward, fast backwards, pause, and erase videos, you'll have unprecedented flexibility in capturing what you want and keeping only what you need.

Your Personal Multimedia Playback Center

The Gefen HD-PVR is not just for recording video. You can scan storage devices for the contents that you want, and play music, look at digital picture albums, or play back previously recorded video clips.

How It Works

The HD-PVR is easy to use. You simply connect your video source(s) to one or all of the HD-PVR's 4 inputs, then connect your HDMI display on the HDMI output. Once the source(s), the HD-PVR and the display are powered and connected, you select the video source and feature that you want using the Infra-Red (IR) remote. If you want to modify settings for instant recording and other features, you can go into the friendly On-Screen Display and adjust the settings.

Note:  This device will not allow an HDCP encrypted source to record.
