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 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 files with a small delay. Philips
Wireless MediaConnect is only available for PC.
