Make your devices an integral part of the networked home with place-shifting, from CMWare. Leveraging our unique myPCStream™ technology, manufacturers can provide consumers
with the ability to access the content and applications already stored on their home computers – via a range of electronics devices.
The fact is, consumers use their computers to purchase, download, and play hundreds of gigabytes of digital files and programs – but they typically can only enjoy those files and programs when
they are sitting in front of the computer. myPCStream changes that, allowing users to “place shift” the full functionality of their computers to any consumer electronics device, anywhere
in the home, using a standard WiFi connection.
|
myPCStream features two key components – the myPCStream Server, which resides on the home computer, and the myPCStream Receiver, which sits on the
client device – to enable the real-time streaming of PC-based content and applications in any format, to any device over WiFi and broadband connections in the home.

myPCStream can be embedded into any network-enabled consumer device – including television sets, set top boxes (e.g., for cable, satellite, and IPTV), gaming systems, portable media players,
and home theater systems and components such as DVD players. By streaming media-rich content and applications in real-time, myPCStream allows consumers to use these devices to do anything they can do
on their computers – send instant messages, play games, view pictures, browse the web, and more.
