Wireless MediaMVP® is the link between your TV and your PC, allowing you to watch and listen to PC based music, videos, digital pictures and Internet radio on your TV set. wMVP (as it is also called) works with either wireless 802.11G or wired 10/100 Mbit Ethernet networks. You can use up to 24 wired MediaMVPs* on a home network, or up to four wireless MediaMVPs*. Listen to PC music on one TV set while watching an MPEG movie on another!

wMVP is simple to install: Install the MediaMVP server application on your PC and connect the wMVP to your TV set. MediaMVP has a Network Setup program to allow you to choose your wireless Access Point or a wired router, hub or switch. In just a few minutes you’ll be able to play your PC based music, videos or digital pictures on your TV set!

Navigate through your PC media from your TV set, selecting MPEG or DivX® videos, individual music titles to listen to or digital pictures to watch. You can simultaneously play a picture slideshow while listening to a complete music program. Or play a music playlist (MusicMatch, Winamp and Windows Media playlists supported).

Play MPEG movies on your TV set. Create MPEG videos on your PC with Hauppauge's WinTV (optional), then play those videos on your TV set through the wMVP. If you have a PC TV product, wMVP works with videos recorded with the WinTV software. MediaMVP also supports most standard MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and DivX® videos.

MediaMVPs remote control gives you complete control over your PC based media. Pause, fast forward and rewind through videos, plus play and pause music and digital picture shows. You can adjust the audio volume from wMVPs remote control, so you won’t need to use your TV's remote control!

Connect wMVP to your home theater system! Connect wMVPs’ video and stereo or S/PDIF audio outputs to your home theater system and you'll be able to watch your digital videos and pictures on your TV set while listening to MediaMVP audio through your home theater speakers!

wMVP can be connected directly to your PC or laptop. All you need is an Ethernet cross over cable (available at most computer shops) to directly connect wMVP with your laptop.

Technically speaking:

MediaMVP is a Linux based digital media receiver. Inside MediaMVP is a high performance IBM PowerPC processor and a hardware MPEG audio/ video decoder for MPEG-1/2 videos and MP3 music.

MediaMVP receives digital media from the PC via Wireless or Ethernet LAN, decodes the media and outputs audio/video to the TV set through the SCART connector in RGB, Composite or S-Video. Digital pictures are software decoded by wMVP’s processor.

The MediaMVP Server application creates menus on the PC, which are transmitted over the LAN to the wMVP, where it provides the on-TV-screen display. wMVP receives commands from the supplied remote control, and sends these commands to the PC server, where the remote control commands are executed.

Note:

• 2.2 GHz Intel® P4 or equivalent to play DivX movies.
• Number of MVP's conectable dependent on computer specs, contact technical support for information about this.
• Internet radio requires directly accessible stations broadcasting in MP3 or WMA formats.
• To play an Internet radio station through the MediaMVP, the Internet radio station must do two things:
  • it must transmit audio in either MP3 or in WMA formats.
  • the Internet radio station must be accessible via a direct Internet link. In other words, you need to be able to put a URL in Internet Explorer and reach the Internet radio station directly without going through any levels of indirection. An example of a website which has direct links to Internet radio stations is Shoutcast.com.
• Digital camera pictures are downscaled for display on your TV set.
