Abstract

In this paper, we design and implement a novel all-in-one Media Center that can be directly connected to a high-definition television (HDTV). C# programming is used for developing modular structured media center for home entertainment. Therefore it is possible and easy to add new limitless number of modules and software components. The most importantly, user interface is designed by considering two important factors; simplicity and tidiness. Proposed media center provides opportunities to users to have an experience on listening to music/radio, watching TV, connecting to Internet, online Internet videos, editing videos, Internet connection to pharmacy on duty, checking weather conditions, song lyrics, CD/DVD burning, connecting to Wikipedia. All the modules and design steps are explained in details for user friendly cost effective all-in-one media center.
