[quote]I was looking through it’s listed features and noted under the listed supported video formats “480p YPrPb, 720p YPrPb, 1080i YPrPb”. [/quote]
The 23417 is a MPEG2 hardware encoder while it looks like the 23885 is a software tuner that can also decode “up to two MPEG transport streams” which I take to mean that it decodes ATSC or other digital/HD broadcasts but that all depends on what Xceive silicon tuner they are using (might be a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xceive_XC3028]XC3028[/url] ).
More importantly is the fact that these cards come with a [b]component in[/b] dongle and the main chip used (CX23885) supports video inputs up to1080i YPrPb!
Anyone know [i]anything[/i] concrete about these cards or it’s capabilities and if VMC supports them using component in? This might be a terrifiv work around for getting real HDTV into VMC for us DIYers who can’t (or won’t) go CableCARD. 🙂
