Star Media Center
Redefining streaming applications

Live shared experience:

Star Media Center enables you to share live video content over the internet with your friends whether it's a local file (video file), stream content from a webcam or TV card - including TV channels and FM radio stations (FM - if supported by your TV card). It's easy, enjoyable to use and your friends will surely appreciate the fact that they can receive your broadcast on their PCs or Pocket PCs or even Smart Phones (Windows Mobile OS based) via plain GPRS, EDGE or 3G. This is possible due to the fact that Star Media Center is an intelligent software that constantly adapts the live stream to the quality of your internet connection so neither you or your friends won't experience the unpleasant buffering phenomena. And you don't have to worry, your friends can view the stream on almost any operating system available today on the market (ranging from Windows and Windows Mobile to Linux distributions and Mac OS).

New features and possibilities for you to explore:

Interesting new features were added for personal use as well. With the new Star Media Center you can set your PC to broadcast a TV channel for example but that doesn't mean you have to get back home to change the channel. If the favorite football match is starting you can change the initial TV channel to the desired TV channel remotely and you can even set your computer to start recording the respective football match using your mobile phone or PC. And that's how you have a new added value to your smartphone which now also becomes a remote control with the largest range in the world. You can even download the content and see it on your mobile device. Even more important for your entertainment - you can transfer your video files directly from your computer to your mobile device via serial cable without having to worry about compatibility issues (no more codec problems etc) and size (SMC converts standard DVD or Divx/Xvid movies to Windows Media Player Mobile readable files). Just transfer and play on your mobile Smart Phone or Pocket PC. Not enough? No problem! If you are back home and you want to play a video file or just listen to a program, then you can set Star Media Center to play behind the desktop so that you perceive it as a wallpaper or you can display video content in a small window in a discreet corner of your monitor screen. For those who enjoy cutting edge technology and eye candy, Star Media Center brings picture in picture (PIP) functions with high quality images that includes fading effects and sound prioritization for one of the videos. SMC also supports multi monitor specific features, digital zoom, file resuming functions and auto shutdown functions that automatically turn off or send into standby / hibernate the computer after a movie ended and much more…

Conclusions:

No matter who you are, whether you want to spend a good time with your friends and share with them TV channels, comments, movies, or you are just looking for a software that gets more out of your gadgets (tv-cards, digital cameras, Smart Phones, Pocket PCs) you will certenly enjoy Star Media Center.
