Clamored over Microsoft's next-generation operating system Vista finally officially launched in January this year, the price has also been announced, many of them tried Beta version, though there are positive and negative evaluations, but everyone can see the fact that because Vista has MCE (Media Center Edition) features cover which, so the future PCs with Vista operating system, can substantially meet the "digital family life" needs, including of course the home theater.
If Intel's Viiv (7.1 channel output, remote control a second post) platform or AMD's Live (with high definition video) platform really be popular, then match the Vista operating system, as well as the computer's HDMI terminals, computer can be said to have been completed and the High Definition audio-visual entertainment oriented work, coming home theater world becomes what it really is hard to imagine.
Please think about it, if you have a DVD with AV amplifier or laserdisc player like remote control, sat on the sofa is able to manipulate the computer. With you on, off, just like the TV seconds can open computer, projector or desktop wide screen monitor also shows the screen at once, and home theater is only a screen has navigation buttons. In addition, the computer can do contain movies, music, entertainment, video four most, plus a variety of network functionality, these are not mere regeneration sound, play movies home theater equipment can match.
The above statement is just the personal ideas? of course not, Microsoft Spy digital family life market for many years, MCE from launch until XboxWMV, Vista, and the misappropriation of digital home life market layout. Intel this giant certainly won't watch Microsoft dominate the world, and therefore also developed its own Viiv platform, it has also been developed in cooperation with Google, the search for digital image content. See Intel so positive, competitor AMD, of course, cannot do nothing, also launched AMD Live system, hoping in film, broadcasting, music market. See the IT industry giants have jumped out waving the flag, home theater operators can not worry?
For this development, the display industry. Whether in the computer industry occupy market, or home cinema keep half of the country, want to see the image it is necessary to have the monitor. The small size of the monitor of choice is, of course, can be placed on the desk of the liquid crystal display, whether television or monitors, LCD panel industry all benefit. Want to see the big picture, whether PC or home theater projectors are not to be missed, the related companies will not be affected. Problems of the larger firms of the AV amplifier and DVD player, if the computer industry to take full advantage of class d amplifier technology, small size and high power output of multichannel amplifier installed on the computer, inevitably carved original AV amplifier exclusive market.
As already seen crisis, some manufacturers such as Yamaha and Japan Onkyo a few years ago will surround amplifier connected to the network, now further improvement of control methods, you can easily play on the AV amplifier network broadcasts. If sales are good, and I think that all the Japanese manufacturers must strive to follow the example, this can be considered weak.
In DVD player, Sony PS3 Blu-ray disc player and the game will be and as a whole, and future Xbox will follow up, more to sell more games, DVD player, the more the market will be squeezed. The computer's DVD drive to sell, the more DVD player market will also be threatened. Fortunately the market dynamics is left hand wrap to the right hand, and ultimately control in the hands of Japanese firms. As for the loudspeaker manufacturers, they expect all home theater and the computer is used the concept of the active loudspeaker to the way eat multichannel after the level of the market, however difficult.
The above said speculation, just on the young computer groups effectively. Those are old and not in contact with the computer, or not to the computer as a living Centre of "old school" AV AV Fans basically does not ignore these tumultuous, they are used to living in a traditional home theater control mode until they get old.
