Everything about Portable Media Center totally explained
Portable Media Center (PMC) is a defunct
hard drive-based
portable media player (PMP) platform developed by
Microsoft. Codenamed
Media2Go, it was announced at the 2003
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and later rebranded as
Windows Mobile software for Portable Media Centers. It runs on a specialized version of
Windows Mobile, built with TinyCLR, a
.NET framework. In 2007, Microsoft had discontinued licensing of the platform.
PMCs were introduced at the 2004
Consumer Electronics Show, with the announcement of
Creative's
Zen Portable Media Center.
All PMCs are able to play audio files in
MP3 and display images in
JPEG. Also, they support Microsoft's proprietary formats:
Windows Media Audio (WMA) and
Windows Media Video (WMV). Other video formats will either be supported by each individual PMC, or transcoded though
Windows Media Player.
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is used for transferring data.
All players use a
graphical user interface (GUI) modeled after
Media Center, a software portal bundled with
Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Manufacturers include Creative,
Philips,
iriver,
Samsung, and
Toshiba.
Microsoft's
Zune also uses a modified version of Portable Media Center.
