MODEL- 1000               VENDOR- HAUPPAUGE COMPUTER WORKS

FEATURES- MediaMVP
       Hauppauges MediaMVP is a low cost thin-client device which bridges
        the home PC with home TV and A/V equipment, via Ethernet networks.
        It takes high quality digital audio (MP3 music), digital video
        (MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 videos), digital pictures (JPEG and GIF digital
        pictures) and other multimedia content in the form of IP packet
        streams and renders the content onto video and audio equipment such
        as TV sets, TV monitors or plasma monitors, and home theater A/V
        systems.
       The MediaMVP connects to the home LAN via its built-in RJ-45
        10/100Mbps Ethernet network interface.
       When used in conjunction with a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR installed in a
        PC, a complete home TV and digital media distribution system can be
        made. Television is recorded on the home PC with the WinTV-PVR, and
        then watched on a TV set through the MediaMVP via the home LAN.
       The MediaMVP is located at the TV set, and decodes videos sent to
        the MediaMVP over the home LAN for viewing on the TV set. It also
        provides media decoding for MP3 music and JPEG/GIF digital
        pictures. The MediaMVP displays on the TV screen lists of media
        which can be played through the MediaMVP, plus menus for organizing
        the lists and for playing play lists.
       While playing music, the MediaMVP can also play a digital picture
        slide show.
       Driven by a powerful RISC CPU engine (>350 DMIPS) running the
        Linux operating system, and with dedicated special purpose
        multimedia hardware components, the MediaMVP is a full-blown
        network multimedia decoder device with superior computing and
        digital audio and video processing capacities.
 * MediaMVP runs in a client/server system, where the MediaMVP receives
   display screens and media files from the PC based Server. The on-screen
   displays rendered by the MediaMVP on the TV set is formed on the PC
   Server. The PC Server can be either Windows XP Home, Windows XP
   Professional or Windows2000, and can be used for any normal PC task
   while it acts as the Server for the MediaMVP in the background.
 * MediaMVP can run on networks where the PC serving the media content is
   on the same sub network as the MediaMVP. The MediaMVP cannot "see" PCs
   which are on networks beyond its local router or subnet.
 * The MediaMVP runs a Linux operating system and performs two basic
   functions: rendering the On-screen display commands onto the TV monitor,
   and taking digital media files and decoding them into an analog form. It
   also takes remote control clicks and sends them back to the Server for
   processing.
 * The MediaMVP offers general purpose processing power >350 DMIPS, plus
   dedicated hardware decode support for MPEG-2 Transport Stream, MPEG-2
   MP@ML, and MP3 Audio.
 * Supports MPEG Video rates ranging from 1.5 Mbps to 8 Mbps (higher in
   bursts), limited by the LAN bandwidth - The MediaMVP will decode full
   CCIR601 resolution NTSC and PAL encoded MPEG-2 bit streams in real time,
   up to and including 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL). It will upscale
   lower resolution video to full screen. For example, MediaMVP will take
   320x240 VCD video and play it full screen. It also offers a tunable
   Anti-Flicker Filter.
 * The MediaMVPs on-screen display rendering engine provides 24-bit Direct
   Color (YUV) with 8-bit alpha blending.
 * The MediaMVP has a range of audio and video outputs which are available
   in different models. A/V options include S-Video, composite video,
   YPbPr, and RGB outputs, plus left and right channel audio, in either RCA
   jacks or a SCART connector.
 * NTSC and PAL output support in all models, software switchable.
