Compro now provides more vivid, less noise, and sharper picture quality that outperforms standard TV sets.

Philips SAA7133/7134 video encoder with ADC chip and new board design to provide clear picture quality
Multiple Voltage Regulators ¡V For more stable voltage and reduce the noise (caused by heat). In addition, the regulator on board is far away from TV tuner, but near bracket, which can help to remove the heat.
Hardware Digital Video Scaling ¡V User-define aspect ratio and faster video scaling and less system resource needed.

In Software
Noise Removal ¡V In some of poor quality TV cable and video sources, the video includes a lot of noise. The noise removal feature can helps to remove the noise from video source and give you a clearer video.
Deinterlacing ¡V The video transmission in TV system is use interlacing, and this will has less flicker when screen is refreshed at twice the frame rate. But it will cause the bad video quality on the non-interlaced PC monitor. The Compro deinterlacing technology will fix the interlacing problem and give you a clear picture on your system.
Video Smoothing ¡V When setup in the higher resolution of video (ex. 640*480) the video will appear aliasing (or jaggies). Aliasing is the stair-step effect on the edges of objects and can be extremely distracting for the PC user. The video smoothing technology provides more smoothing and nice looking video.

Timeshifting

Besides Power Up Scheduling, people can also use timeshifting through ComproPVR. Timeshifting lets you control your TV viewing like never before. You can sit down to watch your favorite sporting event and pause the live action to help yourself to an ice cold beverage from the fridge and then return to your seat without missing a moment of the show. Timeshifting temporary saves the video for a user-defined amount time from now on in your hard disk. You can roll back to the time you left the seat.

FM radio
In addition, VideoMate TV Gold Plus also supports FM radio listening. As long as you connect FM antenna, which is bundled in the VideoMate TV Gold Plus package, to the FM connector on the bracket, you can enjoy several benefits from that: listen to the live FM radio program, and synchronized record programs.

With Compro VideoMate TV Gold Plus, you may consider throwing away your VCR and cassette player.
