What is the HAVA Platinum HD?
The HAVA Platinum HD is actually a combination of computer applications and a plastic box that you connect to your TV and network adapter.
The Platinum HD box is pretty lightweight. It’s slightly larger than two DVD cases stacked on top of each other. The only downside is that it uses external power.
As far as inputs and outputs, the Platinum HD comes complete with various specialty cables made for the HAVA box, like a component cable turning into a one-eighth inch plug. It also has a standard Ethernet jack and an S-video input/output.
What resolution does HAVA display in? The HAVA works with HD sources but it doesn’t display in HD. HAVA says that programming on your TV would be viewed in ‘DVD quality’, which is MPEG-2 if watching from home or MPEG-4 if watching via the web. MPEG-2 is a good image. It’s equivalent to 480p so MPEG-4 would be a step down.
Who would use a HAVA Platinum HD?
The HAVA would be useful for someone that wants to use their PC as a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) or someone that wanted to burn DVDs of their favorite TV program. It’s also good for the person that wants to archive home videos because it easily connects to a camcorder and PC.
A traveler would also benefit from HAVA because the Platinum HD works over the Internet. While online you could control your remote control via the web and watch your home TV on your PC.
You could also use the HAVA to monitor a security camera from your phone or the web.
