Experience Highest Quality Home Theater TV on Your PC with ATI's TV Wonder Elite
Add home theater quality video to your PC for a fraction of the cost of expensive consumer electronics systems
ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:ATY)(NASDAQ:ATYT) today delivers home theater quality TV to your PC with the TV WONDER(TM) ELITE. This new TV capture card incorporates the same advanced video processing technology that ATI developed for high-end televisions - almost all the major TV manufacturers are using ATI's digital television (DTV) technology. As a result, TV WONDER ELITE delivers high-end TV image quality to PCs, offering exceptional visual results previously seen only in home theater settings.
ATI is bundling the new and improved REMOTE WONDER(TM) PLUS for full wireless application control. TV WONDER ELITE will be available this winter from major computer retailers and ATI.com with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of US $149.00.
"ATI's Multimedia division is delivering a new era of digital entertainment capabilities for the personal computer," said Paul Lypaczewski, Vice-President & General Manager, Multimedia Business Unit, ATI Technologies Inc. "ATI's leadership in both DTV and graphics technologies has led to a unique PC TV video breakthrough for Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center solutions for both ATI's customers and end consumers. TV on the PC will never be the seen the same way again."
