Wireless 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.

Technically speaking: Wireless MediaMVP is a Linux based digital media receiver. Inside Wireless MediaMVP is a high performance IBM PowerPC processor and a hardware MPEG audio/video decoder for MPEG-1/-2 videos and MP3 music.
Wireless MediaMVP receives digital media from the PC via the LAN, decodes the media and outputs audio/video to the TV set through the RCA connector. Digital pictures are software decoded by Wireless MediaMVP’s processor.
The MediaMVP Server application creates menus on the PC, which are transmitted over the LAN to the Wireless MediaMVP where it provides the on-TV-screen display. Wireless MediaMVP receives commands from the supplied remote control, and sends these commands to the PC server, where the remote control commands are executed.

Notes:
* 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.
* When connecting 16 wired Wireless MediaMVP, up to 2GB of free memory is needed (64MB per MediaMVP minimum). In addition we recommend a very fast CPU. Only one DivX video can be played at a time.
