Specifi cs
You can project high defi nition (HD) or standard defi nition (SD) video,
depending on the processing power of your PC. For smooth playback
of HD video, please use a hardware accelerated video player on your
computer. A hardware accelerated video player uses the graphics
adapter of your PC to render HD video rather than the processor.
This frees up the processor for Philips Wireless MediaConnect video
encoding. The content protection on most DVD or Blu-ray Disc movies
might restrict watching the movie on TV when the disc is playing on
a PC. The TV shows PC media fi les with a small delay. Philips Wireless
MediaConnect is only available for PC.
