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.
