Orbiter

An Orbiter is a high-tech remote control. It can be a laptop, a Blackberry, a handheld remote control (such as a Windows MCE remote control, a Fiire Chief, or a Bluetooth remote control), or even a universal infrared remote control (connected by USB-UIRT). The functions of the Orbiter remote control are displayed on the local video monitor in an Orbiter User Interface (UI).

Web Orbiter

A Web Orbiter is any laptop (or other PC) on the LinuxMCE system. A standard browser interface is used to make that laptop or PC into a virtual remote control.
