Features and specifications

Will the Neuros OSD work after the digital over-the-air conversion happens on February 17, 2009, in the United States?

Yes. Users who record TV directly may need to adjust their settings. Please visit the Digital Conversion Compatibility page for detailed information on which devices will be affected and how to adjust your setup.

Can I use the Neuros OSD to make backups of my DVDs?

Yes. Connect your DVD player to the Neuros OSD with the included RCA cable (red, white and yellow), insert your DVD in the DVD player, play it and hit record on the Neuros OSD remote control. The OSD will convert your DVD into a standard digital MP4 file that will be saved on a storage device of your choice.

Can I make copies of VHS tapes and commercial DVDs that are copy protected?

Yes, the Neuros OSD records the analog video signal sent to the TV and makes a legal, digital copy of it, as this signal is not copy protected.

How long does it take to record/convert videos?

It happens in real-time, 1 hour of video takes 1 hour to record.

What video format does the Neuros OSD uses for the recording?

The Neuros OSD records in the standard and open MP4 format compatible with a wide range of devices. Videos recorded with the Neuros OSD can not only be played a TV set using the OSD as a player, but can also be viewed on PC/Laptops and popular PMPs like the iPod/Nano/iPhone, the PSP, smartphones etc...

How big are the files recorded?

For the highest setting, 1 hour of video is about 1GB. It means that even on the highest setting, you could have a video library with all your favorite content on a single hard drive.

Does the OSD come with a built-in hard drive?

No, the OSD has no internal storage, but you can plug in any USB external hard drive (with the FAT 32 format), use standard flash cards or networked storage devices (NAS, PC, etc...).

Does the Neuros OSD support HD content?

The OSD records in standard definition from any source that supports composite (RCA cables) or S-Video. If your content source supports those outputs, you can record.

What is the largest capacity memory card that can be used with the OSD?

We have tested up to 8GB in size for memory cards with the OSD with working results. Using the OSD's USB connection, you can hook up external hard drives and expand your space to almost unlimited levels. SDHC cards are compatible with the OSD when using an adapter.

What type of memory cards does the OSD accept?

The OSD accepts SD memory cards, MMC memory cards, MS (Pro and Pro Duo) memory cards, CF memory cards, and microdrives. This includes all mini/micro variants of the previously mentioned cards assuming you have the proper adapters. The OSD is compatible with the newer SDHC cards, if you use an adapter.
