All-in-Wonder^® PRO

Reviews

Playboy Magazine
"Watching TV on a computer is nothing new. Downloading closed captions to create transcripts of Seinfeld or the Jerry Springer Show is. That's just one of the many breakthrough features of ATI Technologies' All-in-Wonder Pro. This $280 PC TV board lets you watch your favorite stations on your computer - full screen and in stereo. It features zoom and instant-replay functions, and it comes with software that runs a TV in the background (picture-in-picture style) while you work, listening for certain words and kicking on the programming to full screen when it hears what you want to see."

"The $300 All-in-Wonder Pro truly does live up to its name. Equipped with a 3-D video accelerator to make gamers happy, the All-in-Wonder's TV tuner taps into your cable feed or TV antenna via a connector, and into your TV set, VCR, or camcorder with a bundle of weird wires and adapters.......once you've replaced your old video adapter with the All-in-Wonder, ATI's slick software gloms on to the tuner and puts a TV screen on your monitor. You can change channels with your mouse and adjust the size and location of the TV windows, along with brightness, contrast, color balance, and volume. (If you get bored channel surfing, you can save TV clips on your hard disk.) The TV image is surprisingly crisp and detailed at almost every size, without the scan lines you see on a normal television screen ...Microsoft's tuner software, called WebTV, can't compare with ATI's in features, but it does have one great advantage- you can use it to download your local cable listings from Microsoft's Web site."

"The ATI All-in-Wonder Pro is the most aptly named product we've seen. This internal PCI card for your Pentium PC combines 3D graphics, a TV tuner, and video capture and editing into one easy-to-install package.....if you want 3D graphics, TV capability, and easy-to-use video capture, the All-in-Wonder Pro is everything you need."

PC World, All-In-Wonder Pro, Dream Machine
"I decided to build my dream system from scratch. This was going to be fun: Custom-build a mid-1998, no-limits screamer system; see what it can do; and expense it to PC World. Listen, I could think of worse things to do. My pick for a video card was ATI's $322 8MB AGP-bus All-in-Wonder Pro. The card has everything I need: 2D graphics, 3D acceleration (perfect for Quake II), built-in video capturing, a TV Tuner, and support for a DVD card."

San Jose Mercury News
"At least two manufacturers have tuner cards on the market that work with WebTV for Windows: ATI Technologies Inc., whose models range from the $98 ATI-TV to the $329 All-in-Wonder Pro.....Most of the ATI cards are already compatible with Microsoft's tuner software, a company spokesman said, and software will be provided to adapt the few cards that aren't compatible."

Business Week
"First, you need a compatible TV tuner card. Currently, only the $279 ATI All-in-Wonder Pro-a combined display adapter and tuner-works...When connected to cable, this lets you watch TV on your PC and, using an existing Internet account, download a WebTV-like localized program guide."

"The future of PC graphics: a high-speed 3-D accelerator, TV tuner, and video-capture card in one. "

PC Gamer, Gamer's Choice
"With a host of attractive features, this is a single-slot solution for the gamer who wants everything." "If you intend to make the most of the video extras, the All-in-Wonder Pro's features, performance, and ease of use make it one of the best all-around video cards on the market. After spending a year with the original All-in-Wonder, we're not surprised."

"It receives TV signals well enough, but only if you have a card in ATI's All-in-Wonder line--there are no drivers for other TV tuner cards ...."

ZD Net
"I recommend the All-In-Wonder Pro from ATI Technologies. ATI includes every conceivable graphics function: excellent 2D and 3D performance from the company's new Rage Pro chip set, TV-out for displaying PC images on your TV, video input for a VCR or other source, a built-in TV tuner for watching television -- even a handy utility that captures closed-caption strings to a searchable text file, and a clever "instant replay" function that stores and replays the previous 10 seconds of video."

PC Gamer, Holiday Pick List
"This is the card that does everything, from excellent 2D and decent 3D acceleration to unparalleled TV support including a TV Tuner, video capture, MPEG support, and more."

PC Magazine, INSIDE TRACK
"ATI has recently released the ALL-in-Wonder Pro, a very cool graphics controller, which incorporates a TV tuner on the card itself, as well as a slew of 3-D and other functions. Highly recommended."
