The Problem– PC to TV connectivity is difficult and expensive– Separate PC not always wanted in TV viewing/family room– IP based solutions have pro’s and con’s

Video Focus– Most solutions focus on “timeshifting of TV” or watching TV on a

PC …not doing PC things on the TV

Basic I/O support is missed– “Dumb” USB devices difficult to connect to central PC– More than mouse/keyboard required– Limits the PC user experience to the “Home Office”

Desktop today– Mouse, Keyboard, Game Controller, Monitor, Web Camera,

Storage device, Sync Hub to connect your Phone, Camera, MP3 Player etc.

Goal: Take all the Desktop tools and move them to the living room!…..without moving the PC processor!
