Start Up ZeeTV is not just another media box, or set top box maker. The start-up company just announced a box that will allow users to broadcast high-def web video and other computer content to any HDTV in the house.
The box hooks to the monitor output of your computer, broadcasts to an HD channel called Zv, and then streams via the cable wiring in your home. It’s like adding a new channel to your cable lineup. The company says this technique opens up a whole new category of content delivery, dubbed “localcasting.”
To put it simply, the ZVBox allows you to connect your desktop PC to every TV in the house by creating its own channel (RF) that is picked up by the tuner which is built in your TV set already.
Here’s a little info to help you get a clear picture:
-PC’s content transported over VGA which is then sent through your coaxial cabling to every TV in your home
-VGA pass-through ensures your PC monitor continues to operate normally
-Audio (Including Dolby Digital 5.1) is inputted via USB
-No equipment is needed at the TV end for reception; all signals are received from the TV’s QAM-capable internal tuner
The ZvBox is now available exclusively at Amazon.com. It began shipping on June 30.
