Digital entertainment solution |
摘要 |
A digital entertainment solution includes a system for treating digital content, transmitting the digital content over a network to a viewing station where the digital content is presented to a viewer. A network-booting set-top box built from computer desktop technologies supports gaming, web browsing, e-mail, music listening, movie viewing and the like. A scan converter within the set-top box converts monitor resolution images to formats used by standard television sets. A browser within the set-top box substitutes fonts optimized for television viewing for standard fonts designed for computer monitors. Multiple set-top boxes are combined in a network and isolated from data-only devices to ensure service quality and to prevent unauthorized copying of digital content. The reach of the network is extended with wireless segments that use a variety of mechanisms to ensure security and service quality. A treatment process removes unneeded information that consumes bandwidth and reduces the quality of standard compression techniques such as MPEG 4.
