Multimedia computer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A multimedia computer is a computer, that is optimized for high multimedia performance, enabling rich multimedia experience.
The Intel Viiv platform, and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition are two products aimed at multimedia computing. Unlike more Primitive Computer Systems that run at 16-75 MHZ, today true multimedia PCs have 3.0 Ghz(dual core or single-core), 1GB of RAM, a 128 MB or higher video card and TV Tuner card.
More recently, high-performance devices have become more compact, and the multimedia computer capabilities are found in mobile devices such as the Nokia Nseries, featuring DVD-like video quality, megapixel class cameras, fully capable browser, music and video players, podcasting, blogging, as well as e-mail, instant messaging, presence and internet call (VoIP) functionality. Multiradios help to offer broadband wireless connectivity, including for instance WCDMA/HSDPA and WLAN/Wifi. Devices are also increasingly equipped with GPS receiversapplications, providing new capabilities for location-aware applications. The Nseries devices are also expandable, allowing for the addition of multiple applications and multimedia content.
