Long overdue VMagic (formally Vidac) have finally realeased two of there new (TV) capture cards, the VMagic TV Basic (with TV tuner) and the VMagic Movie Basic (without TV tuner).

Both these and the forthcoming 'ultra' cards capture using hardware mpeg compression in real time. The ultra version like the old 'plus' cards will be able to convert AVI and mpeg files stored on disk using the mpeg hardware.

The new cards now support both PAL and NTSC for capturing from a video source. The TV tuner in the TV version does not support NTSC.
