D-Link’s PC on TV Player…Title Says it All

January 9th, 2008 by Joanna Stern

dThe amount of place shifting devices and services has been overwhelming. Its actually hard to find a company that isn’t doing wireless video streaming in one way or another. But, D-Link’s PC on TV caught our eye. The media player allows users to stream their PC’s video to a TV, either wired or wirelessly.

We like to hear that D-Link understands that the Web-based content out there is pretty damn good. Instead of streaming your TV or DVR to your computer Sling style, you can send YouTube videos and Google Video from the PC without the use of a proprietary media player. Supported are MPEG-4 or any AVI videos or virtually any local video content, and use any media player, such as iTunes, Nero, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, etc.

The device supports photo viewing at 1280×720 screen resolution and streaming video at 640×480 resolution at up to 30 frames per second. Even better it comes with a mouse-like trackball remote control.
