About CyberLink Live

The Home PC as a Broadcast Station for Personal Media

CyberLink Live consists of a home media server application that lets users define the media files they want to access from another PC, thus turning their home PC into a broadcast station for personal media. By using network media streaming technologies, users are able to access the media that resides in their home PCs via the CyberLink Live website (www.cyberlinklive.com).

Place-shifting Personal Media

CyberLink Live lets users remotely access their personal media -- including live TV, video content, audio, photos, documents and webcam videos -- by simply logging into the CyberLink Live website. If a TV tuner is installed on the home PC, users can stream live TV programs with time-shift playback, directly from the CyberLink Live website.

Media Sharing with Friends and Family

Aside from personal access, CyberLink Live also offers a way to share photos and videos with invited friends and family. It provides a secure way for users to give other people access to the files they want to share from their home PC.
