FULL DESCRIPTION
Signal HD-507 is the only device on the market, which offers so much for so little. A
small, practical case houses DVB-T receiver and multifunctional
multimedia device. The use of this digital receiver is one of the
cheapest ways to adapt an older CRT, LCD, or plasma television (if the
LCD or plasma TV has only an MPEG-2 tuner) for the new world of digital
television using MPEG-4. Even the owners of fully-featured televisions
equipped with MPEG-4 tuners may also be interested in such a
multifunctional device due to its integrated media player and Personal
Video Recorder option (PVR Ready - possibility of recording DVB-T
broadcasts on external USB memory). Signal HD-507 can also play
pictures, music and videos - including those in high definition.
The biggest practical advantage of the receiver is compact size. The device can be directly plugged into the
SCART input of a TV set - it remains virtually invisible to the user.
The receiver is also ideal for any LCD/Plasma TV placed on a wall -
depending on the TV model and mount, the user can arrange the device so that it fits in between the TV set and wall (adequate ventilation is required).
Hidden
behind the television, the device receives commands from remote control
via IR sensor on a short cable. To work properly, the sensor has to be
attached somewhere on the front of the TV set.
Remark: The IR sensor of the receiver is equipped with LED indicating status of device - a feature not available in similar devices in the market!

The
receiver is compatible with the most popular MPEG-4 compression
standard and with the earlier version - MPEG-2 - used in some European
countries. The device provides excellent image quality both in SD and HD
resolution. The USB port (PVR Ready) allows to record the received
broadcasts on external data storage device, such as a USB hard drive or a
flash drive.
HDMI
output provides signal of the highest quality, suitable for HD
broadcasts. Using this connection, the receiver can be plugged into the
SCART socket or not. With the simultaneous use of both types of
connections, HDMI has priority.

Signal HD-507 is intended for users who want to hide the receiver behind their televisions. It is the only model in the market which employs IR sensor and LED status indicator mounted on additional cable. This way, the user can control the receiver despite it is invisible behind the TV, being directly inserted to its SCART socket (no need for an additional cable).
The
receiver is fully compatible with the DVB-T standard (ETSI ETS300744)
and allows to receive digital FTA (Free-To-Air) channels in SD and HD
resolution (HDMI output), compressed in MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 standard. It is
equipped with functional and clear Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
containing detailed information on programming for the current day and
the whole week (depending on the level of the service from the
broadcaster). Navigating the menus of the receiver should not be a
problem even for those who have no experience in the use of such
devices.
PVR
Signal
HD-507 with PVR Ready function allows to record selected programs on
external memory device. It recognizes FAT32 and NTFS file systems. An
external hard drive has to be powered from suitable power supply.
Available recording modes:
- instant recording (of the currently watched program)
- timer recording - schedule to start recording at a particular time and record for a certain length of time
- EPG recording - recording of programs chosen from the guide
Files
recorded on an external data storage device are recognized by PCs as *.
ts files. To play them back, the user should employ VideoLan Player
(VLC) - free application that can be downloaded from the software
developer site.
Multimedia
Signal HD-507 is also a fully-featured media player. The user can play pictures, audio and video files.
Supported file formats:
- Audio: MP3, WMA
- Pictures: JPEG, BMP, PNG
- Videos: MKV, AVI, VOB, MOV, DivX
An
interesting feature is the possibility of playing files compliant with
open standard Matroska (MKV). This format allows compression and
recording of High Definition channels. It is characterized by good video
quality and comparatively low memory consumption.
