Computer Video Projectors
The home theater is all the rage right now, and it ss easy to see
why. Who wouldn't want to be able to access their videos, play their
DVDs, browse the internet, listen to thousands of songs, play video
games, and watch live television all from the comfort of their
favorite easy chair? Exactly. Despite all of the technology
involved, you can do all of this and more with the purchase of a
computer video projector and your home computer.
The first step in configuring your home theater system with a
computer video projector is to determine which software you want to
use. If you want to stick with a tried and true operating system
like Windows, you can purchase a copy of Windows XP Media Center
Edition, or Windows Vista Home Premium (or Ultimate). Both of those
operating systems contain the Media Center that you will use to make
your computer into the ultimate home theater.
If you are more tech savvy, you may want to consider installing
Linux instead. There is a fantastic program for the alternative
operating system called Linux MCE (Media Center Edition) which will
give you all of the functionality of the Windows version with a ton
of extra features and a lot more power to do exactly what you want
with your computer.
Whichever system you choose to go with, all you have to do is hook
up your computer video projector up to your computer and follow the
on screen instructions to adjust the settings on your video and
audio output. For most installs, it will only take a few short
minutes to get your very own media center hooked up in your home
with all of the audio you could imagine blasting out of your
speakers and an amazing looking high definition video feed from your
computer video projector.
