So what exactly does it do?
Okay.. so you know those movie, music and photo you have on your PC or the
ones you watch online? Each of those file is encoded with some form of compression, hence the difference in file type such as .MOV, .MPEG, .AVI, WMV, MP3,
.MKV or .”whatever”. In order to execute or play these files, a software decoder is
required to play back (typically a software you install on your PC). In this case, the
AIOS HD Media Center’s built in hardware decoder allows the unit to decode and
playback any file format without use of a PC!!
OPTIONAL

Think of it as a Media Center PC ... minus the PC part. AIOS HD Media Center is
based on the latest embedded technology that specifically designed to be a part
of your home entertainment systems. It is a hybrid device that bridges Multimedia, Internet and your big screen TV.
