Neuros announced its latest open-source set-top box the OSD 2, which can record high definition H.264 video up to 720p. An update to the original OSD, which many people used as an open-source DVR, the OSD2 packs a Texas Instruments DaVinci processor, and runs Linux as its primary OS. The WiFi and Ethernet networked OSD2 has a standard array of video inputs, including two composite inputs and one component input, and to get video out of the box, the device has standard composite and component outputs, but also tacks on an HDMI output. Neuros says the new box is a "super reference design," meaning the company hopes in addition to consumers creating their own applications for the box, other manufacturers will implement the OSD2 is a hardware platform for other set-top box applications. The OSD2 is available now for $250 direct from Neuros.
