Abstract: One or more controllers use a first highly directional wireless communication system (first WCS) to communicate with one or more renderers to select one or more of the renderers for rendering content; The controller also communicates with one or more content servers over a convenient link to set up communications between the content server and the renderer. Finally, the content sever communicates with the renderer over a second wireless communications system (second WCS) as directed by the controller to download a content stream from the content server to the selected renderer(s) for rendering. Many devices comprising any or all of the controller, renderer and content server may interact in this way.
