Watch Web- or PC-Based Video and Digital Media Content with ZeeVee ZvBox Zv-100
ZvBox is a product able to broadcast your computer's video output to various HDTVs in the house, allowing you to watch any video playable on your PC without having to leave your sofa. For the sake of an improved PC navigation on TV, the ZvBox comes with an RF remote with cursor control to let you access the desktop.
Overall, there’s a good concept behind the system and it mostly does a good job liberating your computer-based video content. However, the ZvBox does have some attributes that make it rather indesirable (as it presents itself for now) – first of all the spicy price – $500, then the relatively complicated setup structure, and a sometimes annoying remote control lag.
How does it work? – Just connect the monitor output of your PC to ZvBox, then connect ZvBox to your home’s cable TV wiring. What ZvBox does is take the high resolution output of your computer (Dolby Digital 5.1 sound included) and create a new HD channel that you can tune in together with your other TV channels from whatever HDTV you have. ZvRemote, joint with a ZvReceiver that is connected to your computer, offers total control of your computer from anywhere in the house, with multimedia and cursor control making no exception. Apart from that, you can also opt for ZvKeyboard, available August 2008, which turns emailing, surfing the web, and typing text for desktop apps into something very simple.
