Abstract :
This paper analyses the architecture features of PCs. Three levels of multimedia definition are proposed. The performances and platform features of PCs and TV for multimedia communication are compared. This results in a proposal of a digital TV (DTV) architecture that retains the good features of a PC but enhances the real-time bit stream processing capability. The key conclusion is that DTV is for entertainment and PCs are for work
