HDTV and your Media Center PC

MDG Media Centre PCs come standard with an LCD display, so you can enjoy a sharper and clearer picture immediately! When you connect a high-definition TV (HDTV) antenna and optional HDTV tuner card to your Media Centre PC, you also benefit from a high-definition entertainment experience:

Digital-quality video with widescreen support-- Watch local TV broadcasts in HDTV quality - up to 10 times the quality of a standard TV signal. Pop a HD DVD into your PC or download a Windows Media HD Video short from the web. Watch HD movies in your den or dorm, on your next plane ride, or in your home theater.

Theater-quality audio-- Enjoy the booming bass and crystal clear surround sound that is available with many primetime programs.

HD personal video recording-- Pause, rewind, and record local, over-the-air TV programs in HDTV just like you do with standard TV programs. Like Tivo or Replay TV, the MDG Media Centre PC lets you record hours of TV directly on your hard drive, so you never miss a show again. Just select the show you want to record up to 14 days in advance from a simple calendar-style guide. Setup takes just a minute, and it allows the system to work with satellite, cable, and plain old rabbit ears.

Best of all, you can do it from the comfort of your couch with the remote. To handle all this digital video, the MDG Media Centre PC comes standard with large, upgradeable hard drive, so you can save infinitely more shows on your PC.

Digital TV Program Guide-- Easily find listings for local HDTV channels that are integrated with the standard TV listings in the Guide on your MDG Media Centre PC.

Antenna signal strength-- A built-in signal strength meter helps you tune your antenna to get the most channels possible.

Extend Entertainment throughout your Home

With an optional Media Centre Extender, like the XBOX360, you can bring the digital media experience to any room in your house. Connect your Media Centre Extender to your Media Centre PC, and enjoy audio and video through your XBOX.

You can also connect your MDG Media Centre to your home entertainment system and enjoy your favourite entertainment in the living room. Watch DVDs and TV shows that you've recorded on your widescreen TV in stereo or surround sound.

Go Hollywood with your own Movies

Virtually every camcorder made in the past two years and nearly 40 percent of all camcorders currently in use include a FireWire digital video card. This technology lets you download camcorder movies to your PC. Once the movies are on your PC, you can edit them using the intuitive Showbiz software from ArcSoft. Maybe you'll even drop in some slick special effects or a soundtrack!

You can then record the edited movie back to your camcorder, watch the movies on your MDG Media Centre PC, or make a DVD with the free WinDVD SE or My DVD software.

Play that Funky Music

Pop a music CD into your PC, then crank it up! The MDG Media Centre PC can pump out a window-rattling 200 watts of pure sound. Using the "My Music" section of Windows, you can archive your CD collection as MP3s, then organize it by artist, album, genre, or your own rating. Or mix your music to create a mood by making custom play lists for parties, dates, or calm nights at home. Plus, you can burn your mix to CDs or MP3s, so you can listen to the music you want wherever you are.

Show off your Digital Photos

Rotate, zoom, pan, and print from across the room using your optional remote control or set your slideshows to music slideshows for friends and family. It's incredibly simple with the Media Centre PC. Just slip your digital photo card into the six-in-one reader on the front, arrange your photos with the "My Photos" software, select a custom MP3 play list, then hit Play. With a gigantic hard drive and the ability to write DVDs, you can archive thousands of photos easily.

Don't forget it's a Powerful PC

The MDG Media Centre PC still does everything you'd expect from an MDG computer. You can surf the web, check your e-mail and create documents. To handle the additional demands of digital video, the Media Centre PC is manufactured to deliver a powerful entertainment experience. It's fully loaded with an Intel Pentium 4 Processor, a large hard drive, additional RAM and an optional remote control that lets you do nearly everything.
