Supports cable, over-the-air broadcasts
Electronics maker Hauppauge has announced the Broadway, a new set-top aimed at iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. The hardware streams live HDTV to an Apple handheld after first compressing the video using H.264. The resulting media can be delivered locally over Wi-Fi, or to a remote place using any Internet connection.
Over-the-air signals can be captured using a built-in ATSC tuner; cable, meanwhile, is supported through QAM. The Broadway is currently scheduled to ship in mid-February, although many details have yet to be made public. Pricing is slated to be $199.
