A new player software is released for SigmaDesigns XCard.
Here is the description and link:
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 has full TV OSD capability and remote control functions to allow you to totally submerge in a TV centric entertainment experience, and not to worry about the use of a PC while playing the multimedia clips.
However, unlike a set-top box, all software is running on the PC, and all multimedia clips are from the PC. This gives you the full control of the configuration of the player, the source of the media clips, and the media collection management, with the power of a PC. JovePlayer is essentially combining the best of both worlds of a TV and a PC, and gives you truly converged experience and enjoyment.
