Overview
The Hauppauge HD PVR 2 model 1512 records video in HD from a cable or satellite set top box,
PC or video game console. There are two video recording applications which come with HD PVR 2
model 1512. WinTV v7 is used to schedule TV recordings from a set top box. Hauppauge Capture
was designed to record video from game consoles and has a convenient one-click upload to
YouTube.
The software which comes with HD PVR 2 only runs on Windows PCs, but there are third party
applications which run on the Mac. Please see our website for more information.
HD PVR 2 recordings are made onto a computer's hard drive in a compressed H.264 format. It
records from HDMI or Component Video (also called YPrPb). You can also record S-Video or com-
posite video using and optional A/V cable (you can purchase this on the Hauppauge Webstore). It
will record at 1080p30, 720p or 480p at datarates from 1Mbit/sec up to 13.5Mbits/sec.
N ote: if you are recording from a cable or satellite box or a PS3, you will use Component
Video. Most set top boxes and the PS3 do not allow recording from the HDMI port.
Audio can be supplied to the HD PVR 2 from stereo audio connectors on the Hauppauge AV cable,
optical audio cable or HDMI. HD PVR 2 comes bundled with the WinTV v7 and Hauppauge
Capture applications to record videos. There are two types of HD PVR 2 record formats:
TS: this is a native H.264 format used by WinTV v7 and Hauppauge Capture. TS files are often
used to burn Blu-ray discs. The TS files recorded with the HD PVR 2 can be edited with Sony
Vegas (all versions).
MP4: this is similar to the TS file but has an index at the beginning of the file. In the Edit tab of
Hauppauge Capture, click 'Export to MP4' to create an MP4 file without losing video quality.
