Revision as of 16:32, 13 April 2006 by 67.176.167.101 (talk) (→Features)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Motorola 3412 (full name is Motorola DCT-3412) is a digital-tuner only version of the Motorola 6412. It is similar to the 6412 Phase III, except that it is unable to tune in analog channels. It is only used on systems that have analog-digital simulcasting (ADS) active.
The 3412 is about the same width and height as the 6412, but is not as deep (about 11 inches, versus 13 inches on the 6412). On the front, it has no SmartCard slot, no A/V input, and no USB port. On the back, there are no A/V inputs and no metal cover where the RF Input connector is.
The 3412 can record two SD digital or HDTV channels at once and play back a recorded show at the same time. The 3412 has a 120 GB hard drive giving it an HDTV recording time of 12-20 hours and much more for SD digital TV. There may also be some 3416 models with a 160 GB drive.
Features
The 3412 has the same features, and most of the same bugs, as the 6412. Please see the Motorola 6412 page.
EDIT It does have a USB port.
