Windows Media
Center is an application designed to serve as a
home-entertainment hub. It is included in
Windows XP Media Center Edition and higher-end
editions of Windows Vista. It is designed to be
viewed from a distance up to 10 feet and is
controlled by specially designed remote controls
which prominently feature the Green Button. This
button is used to either launch Media Center
from Windows or to return to the Start Menu from
within the application.
Media Center visualizes
the computer user's pictures, videos, and music
from local hard drives, optical drives, and
network locations. It then categorizes them by
name, date, tags, and other file attributes.
Media managed through Media Center can also be
relayed via a home network to standard TV sets
via specially designed Windows Media Center
Extender or the Xbox 360. The original Xbox
requires an additional kit to function as an
extender. |
