"CyberLink Live is a step forward in our vision of a complete digital
lifestyle," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. "Based on our existing
multimedia and network technologies for the digital home, CyberLink Live
place-shifts a user's content from their home PCs, so they can remotely
access their media on any web-browsing device. We are building an ecosystem
of digital media entertainment from inside the home that can reach out to
anywhere in the world."
*Home PCs as the Media Server*
CyberLink Live consists of a home media server application that is offered
free to users. The application lets users define the media files they want
to access from other web-browsing devices, thus turning the home PC into a
media server. By using network media streaming technologies, users are able
to access the media that resides in their home PCs via the CyberLink Live
website (www.cyberlinklive.com)
*Place-shifting Personal Media*
CyberLink Live lets users remotely access their personal media-including
live TV, video, audio, and photos-by simply logging into the CyberLink Live
website. If a TV tuner is installed on the home PC, users can stream live TV
programs with time-shift playback directly from the CyberLink Live website.
*Media Collaboration with Friends and Family*
Aside from personal access, CyberLink Live also offers a way to share photos
and videos with invited friends and family. It provides a secure way for
users to give other people access to the files they want to share from their
home PC.
CyberLink Live is a highly interactive way to invite people to play media,
and watch photos in animated slideshows. According to Alice H. Chang, "You
can interact with friends and family by exchanging comments too. CyberLink
Live is our first step to creating a community-based media collaboration web
platform."
The CyberLink Live home media server application is offered free to users
and it can be downloaded at www.cyberlinklive.com.
