D-LINK NOW SHIPPING PC-ON-TV PLAYER

D-Link PC-on-TV, the newest member of the MediaLounge family of media players,
connects directly to the television with VGA, component or included composite
cables and then connects via Wi-Fi to a computer on the home network. The user
can then control the connected computer using the PC-on-TV remote control. The
trackball remote control includes buttons for all common navigation functions.
D-Link PC-on-TV lets users go to the Internet and stream Web-based content, such
as YouTube videos, Google Video, Veoh Networks’ content and more, directly from their PCs via the web pages. They can watch virtually anyÂ local video content, and use existing media player programs, such as iTunes,
Nero, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, etc. directly on their digital
television. This capability eliminates the time and cost to burn DVDs and play
the videos from a DVD player.

D-Link PC-on-TV works both with TVs and projectors and supports photo viewing at
1024×768 screen resolution and streaming video at 640×480 resolution at up to 30
frames per second. It allows consumers to easily browse all their PC content
with a mouse-like trackball remote control, effectively giving them control over
the host PC.

The D-Link DPG-1200 player will also include a portal landing page on the TV
with links to VeohTV and active-TV ONLINE applications, each offering a single
interface to search, browse and view nearly all video on the Internet. These
services allow users quick links to find videos and much more on screens
designed to fit their television screen and be viewed from their couch.

VeohTV offers programming from media companies, as well as independently
produced content available on sites such as YouTube, Google Video, Veoh.com
MySpace and BitTorrent.

“The D-Link PC-on-TV is an elegant solution for extending the PC experience to a
television in the other room,” said Chris Wong, director of product management,
multimedia for D-Link Systems, Inc. “We’ve developed a simple way for our
customers to leverage their big screen television for accessing and enjoying
applications traditionally reserved for the computer. Users can now share
virtually any movie, song or Internet video with others from the comfort of
their family room, with only the click of a few buttons.”

D-Link PC-on-TV also allows users to control their computer remotely from the
television, including navigating the Internet via a standard web browser,
playing many online games and more.

Other features that make the PC-on-TV device easy to use for the consumer are:
10/100 Ethernet wired and 802.11g wireless network interface, composite, component and VGA video
outputs for plugging into the television.
