Summary of WinCast/TV Specifications

With a WinCast/TV board in your PC, you can watch live "TV-in-a-Window" plus receive Intercast Web pages

WinCast/TV gives you live video-in-a-window:

WinCast/TV connects to your cable TV or to a TV antenna, and displays the live TV in a resizable window. It does this by digitizing the live video (from either the built-in 125-channel cable TV tuner or the external video-input source) using high quality 4:2:2 video sampling. The digitized video is sent over the PCI bus into the memory of a VGA display adapter, a technique which makes WinCast/TV easy to install and gives a great looking TV picture!

What are Intercast Web pages?

Intercast Web pages are just like "normal" Internet Web pages, but they are sent along with a TV broadcast. These pages can be formatted with both text and graphics. The main difference is that these pages are automatically downloaded into your PC by a TV broadcaster, rather than having to request a certain Web page from an Internet Web site. Its as if the TV broadcaster knows what you, the TV viewer, would like to see in your Web browser window!

What are Intercast broadcasts?

Intercast broadcasts combine live television and Internet Web pages (hence the name Intercast: Internet and Broadcast). The TV signal is created at the broadcast site and then transmitted over the airwaves or via cable TV. In your PC the WinCast/TV board splits apart the TV signal from the Web page data, passing the TV to your live TV window and the Intercast data to the Intercast browser.
