The Neuros MPEG-4 Recorder is easy to use, as it plugs into any existing home theatre component via simple RCA cables. It records from any analog video source, including cable or satellite TV, DVD players, camcorders, VCRs and PVRs such as Tivo?. Since the Neuros MPEG-4 recorder uses compact memory cards as the storage medium, the resulting video files can then be played back on your television or easily transferred to the digital devices you already have, such as laptops, PDAs and SmartPhones for playback.
