The HP MediaSmart Server includes three types of servers. These servers stream media from the
HP MediaSmart Server to your devices:
Web Server—Streams media to the Internet where you can access it from any computer that has a
Web browser
•
Digital Media Servers—Your Server has two Digital Media Servers:
Packet Video’s TwonkyMedia—Prepares your media for the Web server to stream to the Internet
and streams media to Digital Media Receivers (
DMR
) in your home. We strongly recommend that
you use TwonkyMedia. TwonkyMedia is enabled by default in the HP MediaSmart Server.
TwonkyMedia can stream media to remote locations and it can stream most file types.
•
Windows Media Connect—Streams to DMRs. Windows Media Connect cannot stream to
a Web server. It cannot stream as many file types as TwonkyMedia and it is disabled by
default in the HP MediaSmart Server.
•
Server for iTunes—Streams to iTunes applications on the computers in your network. This server
is included in your MediaSmart Server. It looks like a new device to your iTunes application, but
it does not use one of your iTunes licenses.
The figure below shows how these servers take media from the disk on your HP MediaSmart
Server and stream it to your various receivers.
