Overview

The Hauppauge HD PVR 2 model 1512 records video in HD from a cable or satellite set top box,

PC or video game console. There are two video recording applications which come with HD PVR 2

model 1512. WinTV v7 is used to schedule TV recordings from a set top box. Arcsoft Showbiz was

designed to record video from game consoles and has a convenient one-click upload to YouTube.

The software which comes with HD PVR 2 only runs on Windows PCs, but there are third party

applications which run on the Mac. Please see our website for more information.

HD PVR 2 recordings are made onto a computer’s hard drive in a compressed H.264 format. It

records from HDMI or Component Video (also called YPrPb). You can also record S-Video or com-

posite video using and optional A/V cable (you can purchase this on the Hauppauge Webstore). It

will record at 1080p30, 720p or 480p at datarates from 1Mbit/sec up to 13.5Mbits/sec.

ote: if you are recording from a cable or satellite box or a PS3, you will use Component

Video. Most set top boxes and the PS3 do not allow recording from the HDMI port.

Audio can be supplied to the HD PVR 2 from stereo audio or via the HDMI port. The recording for-

mat used by HD PVR 2 is H.264 with AAC audio. There are three types of HD PVR 2 record formats:

MP4: this is an H.264 format which is used by many video editors such as Sony Vegas.

TS and M2TS: these are native H.264 formats which can be recorded as a Blu-ray disc.

Installing the HD PVR 2

Step 1: Boot into Windows on your PC

HD PVR 2 works with laptops or desktop PCs with Windows 8, 7, Vista and Windows XP.

Step 2: Plug the power supply into HD PVR 2

After your PC has booted to Windows, plug the supplied Power Supply into the Power input on HD

PVR 2 . The power supply is 6VDC@ 1.66amps.

ote: you will not see video on your PC screen or on your TV set until you install the soft-

ware from the HD PVR 2 Installation CD.

USB connection

Plug one end (the square end) of the supplied USB cable into the HD PVR 2’s USB cable connec-

tor. HD PVR 2 is compatible with USB 2.0 (high speed) only. Plug the other end into your PC.

Step 3: Connect the HD PVR 2 cables

3a. Connection to your TV set or monitor for “no delay pass through”

Connect the HDMI output from the HD PVR 2 to the HDMI input on your TV set.

ote: your HD PVR 2 needs to be powered on for Passthrough Video Output to operate.

Also, ShowBiz needs to have set the Video in source correctly for passthrough to oper-

ate. If you are having passthrough problems, please see the Troubleshooting section.

3b. Connect your set top box or PS3 to HD PVR 2 using Component Video

If you are using a cable or satellite set top box, or a PS3, you will use Component video to record.

The Component Video cable (supplied) has Green/Blue/Red and White/Red connectors at the

end. Plug these colored cables into the corresponding Green/Blue/Red and White/Red RCA con-

nectors of the Hauppauge A/V adapter for Component video.

Plug the Hauppauge A/V adapter for Component video into the AV in connector on the back

of the HD PVR 2.

ote: the A/V connector should be plugged in with the word PUSH facing DOWN.

If you are using a cable or satellite set top box, plug the other end of the Component Video cable

into the YPrPb or Component video output of your set top box.

If you are using a PS3, you will need a PS3 Component Video cable (not supplied). Plug the

PS3 Component Video cable into the AV Multi Out of your PS3.

ote: If you are using a PS3, make sure your HDMI cable is not plugged in. If you had pre-

viously had an HDMI cable plugged in to your PS3, you will need to reset the PS3 video

output. To do this, push the power button the front of the PS3 until the light goes Red. Then,

PUSH and HOLD the Power button until you hear the second BEEP. The second beep means

the video mode has been reset and you should now have video coming from the PS3.

PC’s graphics card or your Xbox 360 and into the HDMI in on the HD PVR 2.
