FrontView LCD Manager for Windows Media Center Description

FrontView is an LCD driver that attaches to Windows MCE in order to display up-to-date information on your LCD. If you are watching a DVD, FrontView can display how much time has elapsed as well as the title of the DVD and lots of other information. This improves the experience with your Home Theater PC by helping it look and act more like any other piece of home-theater equipment. FrontView even handles multiple sessions that are active simultaneously by implementing a user-configurable priority scheme to determine what information is displayed. For example: You can configure what gets displayed if you are watching TV and an incoming call with caller-id arrives, or if you are listening to music while watching a slide show.FrontView is fully configurable so you can display what you want in each session that is available. Macros are available to show current information from any active session in Media Center. Third party plug-ins can even be used to add new session types as well as global macros that provide information that is useful in any session - such as case temperatures.Some popular cases that are supported by FrontView include cases from Silverstone and Ahanix. FrontView supports LCD and VFD displays such as Crystalfontz, SoundGraph, and Matrix Orbital as well as LPT based Hitachi 44780 compatible controllers. FrontView even has the ability to use display plug-ins which will allow the use of virtually any display that has an available plug-in (several of which are already being developed by third parties).
