Think of the Spawn HD-720 as the gaming equivalent of a Slingbox. So when all the TVs in your house are occupied, Spawn HD-720 still lets you play a video game by connecting to your game console (Xbox 360 or PS3) remotely through your laptop. Install the Spawn Player application to your computer, and it works from the next room or from thousands of miles away as long as you have an Internet connection. Unlike the Slingbox, the Spawn HD-720 doesn't take over your home TV from afar, just the game console. You can even remotely participate in multiplayer matches.
