Integrated processing of audio/video signals can eliminate unnecessary
signal processors and converters without losing the functionality of
typical home entertainment system components. The integrated system
includes a main player that captures and processes signals digitally, a
dummy display, and a dummy speaker. The dummy display may only have a
display panel and a panel driver. The dummy speaker may only have a
driving unit and no crossover logic. The main player may have a PC
architecture and process all signals digitally for outputting signals
tailored for the display device and the individual driving units of the
dummy speaker. The integrated system may also provide dynamic signal
adjustments based on the surrounding environment. The main player may
include a storage device and can process media content stored therein to
produce supplemental information to provide an optimal audiovisual
experience. This supplemental information can be shared among users over
a network connection.
