Software solutions like ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre are aiming to make accessing video content over the p.c. more attractive. The multimedia program developer released version 5 with plenty of new features designed to appeal to early adopters. And what would a new release be without the hot video feature of the moment, 3D? ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 5 really bends to incorporate new 3D functionality. Obvious support for Blu-ray 3D, play back native stereo 3D, which includes 3D-DVDs, YouTube 3D files, and 3D videos that are encoded in Left/Right, Up/Down, Anaglyph, etc.
Sim3D uses ArcSoft’s in-house technology to simulate 3D viewing for 2D photo slideshows and DVD movies. The technology provides 3D depth restoration as well as adjustable depth perception, and it lets you switch between 2D and 3D in real time. the software is compatible with various types of glasses which work for seamless integration to any existing home user theater systems.
Although not as up-and-coming as 3D, high-definition video viewing is perhaps even more important to most viewers, and TotalMedia Theatre 5 doesn’t ignore this point. The software also has a feature called SimHD. which upscales standard-def DVDs and video files into “near HD quality.”
There is also an online and social aspect. In addition to playing back videos from your own library, TotalMedia Theatre can play back content from YouTube and other online and networked sources. You can share these videos with your friends via Facebook as well.
There’s also a mobile feature of sorts, although it’s not cloud-based viewing, which may be a shame to some. Rather, the software offers an app called TotalMedia Remote for Android. It lets you control video playback from the comfort of your couch–an essential feature for any program trying to help you replace your TV with your PC.
