Specifics
You can project high definition (HD) or standard definition (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 Blu-ray or DVD disc
movies might restrict watching the movie on TV when the disc is
playing on a PC. The TV shows PC media files with a small delay.
Philips Wireless MediaConnect is only available for PC.
