What is digital media adapter ?

[Caesar]

A digital media receiver (DMR) or digital media adapter is a home entertainment device that can connect to a home network to retrieve digital media files (such as music, pictures, or video) from a personal computer or other media server and play them back on a home theater system or TV.

A digital media receiver can connect to the home network using either a wireless (IEEE 802.11a, b, g, and n) or wired (Ethernet) connection. The concept of a digital media receiver further proliferated by Intel in 2002 at the Intel Developer Forum as part of their “Extended Wireless PC Initiative." Intel’s DMR was based on an Xscale PXA210 processor and supported 802.11b wireless networking. Networked audio and DVD players were among the first consumer devices to integrate DMR functionality.
