provides Technology for Elgato Systems in winning the Macworld
Editors’ Choice Award for Hardware of the Year.
San Jose, CA
January 24, 2005--
Vweb, a leading provider of MPEG video compression and
broadband video networking technologies, today announced that
Elgato Systems, creator of award-winning hardware and software
products that combine the benefits of the Macintosh computer
with popular consumer electronics devices such as the TV, has
received the 20th Annual Editors’ Choice Award from
the MacWorld editorial team for its EyeTV 200 product.
The EyeTV 200
received the prestigious Eddy Award in the category “Hardware
of the Year” for being the “Best Way to Watch TV on Your
Mac”. Elgato Systems’ EyeTV 200 is based on Vweb’s MPEG-1, 2
and 4 Audio/Video/System Encoder Chip, VW2005.
In announcing the
award, MacWorld cited: “Elgato System’s EyeTV 200 is like TiVO
for your Mac. Sure, it lets you watch TV on your Mac’s screen.
But its true power lies in its ability to pause, replay,
search, schedule, and record that TV. Its high-quality MPEG-2
encoder means that your favorite shows not only look good, but
(thanks to the tight integration with Roxio’s Toast) are also
ready to archive to DVD.
“The winning of the
20th Annual MacWorld Editor’s Choice Award by our
customer Elgato Systems highlights the innovations of our
customer as well as the performance and the quality of the
technology that Vweb is delivering”, says Dr. Sho Long Chen,
President and CEO of Vweb Corporation.
“Thanks to Vweb’s
outstanding MPEG-1, 2 and 4 Audio/Video/System Encoder Chip,
the VW2005, the EyeTV 200 capture quality is head and
shoulders above any other solution. We are very excited about
this important recognition from the MacWorld editorial team”,
says Dr. Markus Fest, founder of Elgato Systems".
