  • Publication number: 20110191488
    Abstract: A network media processing device includes a network connection module and a graphics processor. The network connection module is electrically connected to the graphics processor directly. The network connection module is used for connecting to a local area network (LAN). Through the LAN, a host may transmit or broadcast digital image data to the network connection module. The network media processing device can receive media data transmitted by the network with a very simple hardware construction. Therefore, the use convenience can be greatly improved when media data is transmitted using a LAN.
