Today at the Gadget Show Live, Hauppauge launched a new wireless TV transmission device for the Apple iPhone and iPad called the Broadway 2T.
BROADWAY is a small stand alone device which connects to your Freeview TV aerial and streams live TV wirelessly to mobile Apple® devices – the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
Live TV can be watched over your home Wi-Fi network or it can be streamed over the Internet anywhere in the world where your Apple device has an Internet connection.
The BROADWAY networked TV receiver features two Freeview DVB-T tuners, hardware H.264 compression and support for the ultra-fast 802.11n wireless network (Wi-Fi) standard.
It connects to your home Wi-Fi router, converts the live TV signal to H.264 format and streams it wirelessly to mobile Apple devices as well as to any PC or Mac.
Now you have access to DVB-T everywhere at your home – even if you live in an area with weak DVB-T signal.
The Broadway allows you to redirect your home TV and personal video content to your iPhone, iPad, netbook, notebook or Mac computer anywhere in the world. When mobile, your TV and content is accessed via your web browser. No third party apps or additional purchases are needed.
Yehia Oweiss, Hauppauge Digital’s Vice President of Sales EMEA says: “We have designed the Broadway 2T to be easy to use. It directs your home TV or other connected video signals LIVE from YOUR home to your iPhone or iPad device that can access an internet browser, anywhere in the world,” continued Oweiss. “Connect the Broadway to a good TV source at your home and take that digital picture quality anywhere (via 3G or WiFi). Whether you are in a café in Paris or in the departure hall in Las Vegas, your home TV is always with you. This brings a whole new dimension to the personal TV experience.”
The Broadway 2T offers an environmental advantage, because it does not need to be connected to a PC. The Broadway is 802.11n wireless and features two built-in Dual DVB-T tuners to provide direct access to the device from your iPhone, iPad or mobile device via the web browser. In addition, the latest H.264 codecs ensure it is less demanding on the battery life of your mobile device.
The Broadway 2T has an SRP of £229 inc. VAT
