MediaMVP-HD connects to local area networks
via its built-in Ethernet 10/100Mbps
connection. The PC where your media files are located needs to be on the same network
node as the MediaMVP. In general, if you have the PC and the MediaMVPs connected to the
same network hub, Access Point or router, this requirement is satisfied.
Up to 12 MediaMVP-HDs can be connected on a network.
This means you can have a
MediaMVP connected to the TV in your bedroom, one to the TV in the living room, one in
the den, etc. The only limitation is that all the MediaMVPs need to be on the same network
segment as the PC is located.
