Gainward today announced the Gainward Hollywood/MX 3D graphics and home entertainment accelerator integrating NVIDIA’s high performing 256-bit GeForce2 MX and 32 MB of 5ns SDRAM memory.
Gainward Hollywood/MX features an on-board TV-tuner with advanced software-support including:

• sophisticated "real time" software DVD recording (requires Pentium III or compatible CPU with 733 MHz of faster);
• hardware accelerated DVD playback (complete digital video recorder functionality);
• multi-channel preview (displays all available TV-channels as thumb nails);
• time shift function.

The time-shift function enables the user to record the TV-program in DVD format ”real-time” onto the hard disk (ring buffer) and to continue watching it with a delay e.g. to make a phone call or to skip commercials. In addition, the Gainward Hollywood/MX is bundled with a powerful video editing software to cut DVD video sequences frame by frame, to combine them with fancy transitions to be chosen from a comprehensive library, to add text (titling) or special effects (e.g. picture in picture) and to complete the video with a variety of sound tracks.
Gainward Hollywood/MX is also equipped with an s-video-in connector for DVD video recording and frame grabbing from any external video-source and an s-video-out connector to connect a large screen display or an external video recorder.
