JovePlayer is a multimedia player that is capable of playing various formats of encoded video and audio clips. Unlike other software multimedia players in the market, using a hardware REALmagic® XCard decoder card from SigmaDesigns, JovePlayer provides extremely
high quality decoding and TV/HDTV signal encoding abilities with minimal CPU consumption. It presents all JovePlayer's user interface with on-screen display (OSD) on TV through XCard.
