Bringing Multimedia from PC to TV

Hauppauge has been a well-known brand for TV-Tuner & Capture cards. They can turn your PC into a TV and Video Recorder. With Hauppauge's MediaMVP, the reverse is possible: You can now playback Music, Video and Picture from your PC on the TV. Your viewing experience will enhance further if you connect it to a large screen TV and Hi-Fi system, you can sit comfortably on your sofa and control the playback with a remote control.

Although this can be done if you hook up your graphic card to the TV and sound card to the Hi-Fi system, most people usually place their TVs in the living room while the computers are in the study room. This is rather impractical because signal quality drops if your TV is too far away and you need to run to your computer to make any adjustment.

Hauppauge MediaMVP is a mini Linux setup box that can receive multimedia data such as movie clips, mp3 and jpeg picture from a Windows 2000/XP computer through an Ethernet cable. Since the cable can be as much as 100m long, you can now playback these data even your computer is located a few rooms away. MediaMVP will convert these multimedia data and send it to your TV and Hi-Fi system. In this review, we will find out more about this interesting gadget.

Features:

Access digital music (mp3), videos (mpeg-1 & 2) or pictures (jpeg & gif) from your TV set, over your home network through a router, switch, hub or cross cable.

Composite and S-Video outputs for the best video quality on TV sets, plus stereo audio output to TV sets or home theatre systems.

Watch digital camera pictures on your TV set as a slide shows with music, too!

Plays MP3 music, either individual titles or all the music titles in a directory. You can even create and play M3U, B4S, PLS and ASX play lists!

Plays MEPG-1 and MPEG-2 recordings made with the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR. Will also play most other MPEG-1/2 standard video files. With MediaMVP remote control, you can pause, rewind and fast forward through your recorded videos.

Remote control for easy access to your PC media from your TV set. MediaMVP remote control allows you to navigate through your PCs disk drives, and displays media names, directories and other information on the TV set. MediaMVP remote also can control the audio volume and mute of videos and music being played. You do not have to touch or look at the computer screen!

Simple to install, all you need is to install the server application on your PC once, and it will run in the background automatically. Now your PC has become a streaming server and ready to send the data to MediaMVP anytime.
