InternetNews | at | by Mike
Linksys this week unveiled a product to transport pictures and music stored on PCs to TVs and stereos, the first in a new line aimed at filling missing links in wireless home networking chain.
The Wireless-B Media Adapter connects to TVs and stereos with standards cables and to the home network via 802.11b (define), allowing analog home entertainment equipment to accept digital content. It uses Intel processors to decode music (in MP3 and WMA formats) and pictures (in JPG, GIF, TIF and BMP formats). The images are viewed in a slide show format.
