Media Streaming
As you acquire more PCs and devices, you’ll have more physical places to store your music, photos,
and video. But what if all your music is on a laptop, yet you want to play it on your main PC with the
great speakers? Now, with Media Streaming, you can.
When you join a homegroup or set up media streaming from within Windows Media Player, the music,
pictures, and videos you want to access will be
immediately available on other PCs and devices
that are part of your homegroup, and, if you
choose, can even be shared with PCs that are
not part of your homegroup. The new media
sharing experience in Windows 7 is easier than
ever to set up—and you can add new PCs,
media servers, and playback devices at any
time. Windows 7 also makes it simpler to nd
the settings you want to change and to under-
stand your choices. And of course, you can
always restrict access to media you don’t wish
to share.
Play To
Do you have media on your PC that you want to play on your home entertainment system? More
and more consumer electronics devices have the capability to connect to networks or to the Internet.
However, the user interfaces on those devices can be inconsistent or dif cult to use, especially if you
have a large collection of digital media.
Windows 7 helps you use your home audio-video system and other networked media devices to play
music, watch videos, and display photos from
your PC.
Using your PC as a controller, you can stream
digital media directly to a supported device on
your home network such as a Compatible with
Windows 7 Digital Media Receiver, another PC
running Windows 7, or an Extender for Windows
Media Center, such as an Xbox 360® video game
and entertainment system console.
Stream media to other devices
on your home network.
With Play To, you can stream
digital media to devices on your
home network.
