Accessory Description

This module allows the older Multi Media Jukebox 20 to record video, just like the DVR100 allows the AV100 and 300 series.

The capabilities of both Digital Recorder Modules are the same, so a lot of the below text is repeated.

The JBM Digital Video Recorder allows you to record from video source without having to go through the step of capturing that video to a computer via a video capture card. You can plug your Jukebox directly into a PAL TV, a SECAM TV, an NTSC standard TV via this module and record directly to your jukebox. Most VCRs can record from one of those sources, few can record from all of them.

TV is not the only Video input source that this Module can record from. The JBM Digital Video Recording device also allows you to capture video input directly from other possible input sources like VCRs (again, NTSC PAL or SECAM standards) and you can also record directly from Camcorders. Just plug in and record the video straight onto your AV Jukebox hard drive.

That's the unbelievably good side of the story. The downside (and there is one small one) is that the recorded video size is at screen size 340x240 pixels (PAL; 25 frames per second (FPS) ) or at screen size 304 x 224 pixels (NTSC; 30 FPS). That may seem small, but in truth it's about as big as the MMJB series can handle.

This Video Recording Adapter is not limited by copyright locked video sources, such as some DVDs. International formats are no barrier either. If you can play it on a TV then this little wonder is able to record.

Buy the DVR020 and the MMJB20 Base Unit together for only £310 (Money refunded after purchase).
