You’ve got a stack of videos on your Mac that you’ve downloaded from your camcorder or digital camera. How do you convert these videos for iTunes so that you can enjoy them on your iPod or Apple TV? The solution is the Elgato Turbo.264, a blazingly fast easy-to-use video encoder with a high-performance engine.

Why the hurry?

Videos can take a surprisingly long time to encode – sometimes longer than the actual playing time. What’s more, video encoding can demand a sizeable chunk of system resources. How long and how much depends on:
- the processor speed of your Mac
- the length and complexity of the source video
- the size of the video file
- the amount of video compression required for the desired end result

Turbo.264 accelerates video encoding up to four times faster on Macs with Intel Core processors. On an older Mac like a PowerPC G4 or PowerPC G5, the acceleration is exponentially faster.

Features of the Elgato Turbo264 Video Encoder

* Quickly and easily export content to iPhone™, iPod®, Apple TV® and PSP®
* Free up your Mac for other tasks while encoding
* Convert videos to superior quality H.264 files
* Accelerate EyeTV’s Wi-Fi Access feature

The B&W Zeppelin are the speakers your iPod has been waiting for. Zeppelin is an integrated iPod speaker system from Bowers & Wilkins, makers of the speakers that much of the music on your iPod will have been monitored on. B&W creates technologies and systems that world-leading studios depend on and that find their way into even its most affordable speakers. Zeppelin will fill a room with crisp, deep, lifelike stereo sound, and deliver musical detail that you won’t believe your iPod could deliver. That’s because the two have so much in common: blissfully simple design and world-leading technologies that let you get the most out of your music.

The sleeker speaker.

Take a look at your iPod – whether it’s an iPod Nano, 5G or one of the other MP3 player the Zeppelin supports. High quality digital copies of thousands of tracks, each one sitting there, waiting to be heard in all its glory. Zeppelin sets them all free. A full stereo system in one unit, it releases all of the detail and atmosphere that standard iPod docking stations miss. Compact enough to tuck under your arm, it can set you free, too.

Zeppelin allows you to have real hi-fi stereo sound wherever you need it: upstairs, downstairs or perhaps in a den, bedroom, kitchen, office or second home. Or you might just need a simpler, smaller and more stylish replacement for your traditional audio system.

Zeppelin rocks, wherever you are, yet is simple to set up and use. Plug it in, place your iPod on the docking port and hit the play button. You can vary the volume on Zeppelin itself, on its remote control or on the iPod. And connections at the back let you play other sources through Zeppelin or channel images from your iPod to a TV.

Currently in transit from overseas and should be available in April.
