Attached Devices
In addition to playing media files found on a local network, the HD Theater can access media
files on USB storage devices attached directly to the player.
Accessing External Storage Devices from the Player
External storage devices can be attached to the USB2 port on the the front and/or back of the
unit. These connections are hot-swapable, so devices can be attached or removed while the unit
remains powered on. The player will then be able to directly access the storage device.
Supported Media Types
The following media types can be played natively by the HD Theater:
File Formats: AVI, ASF, MPEG, MKV, QuickTime, MP4
Video Codecs: MPEG-1/2, MPEG-4 ASP, H.264, WMV9, VC1
Audio Codecs: MPEG Audio, AAC, AC3, WMA, FLAC, DTS passthrough
In addition to the native support for the formats listed above, when using the player as a SageTV
extender, the SageTV server will attempt to transcode other media formats to a type that the
player can use. Transcoding may not be available for all possible media formats.
Notes:
DVD:
The HD Theater is not capable of decoding encrypted DVD content, so it can not be used
for DVD-ROM viewing. But, non-encrypted DVD images imported into the video library
(home-made DVDs, for example) can be played back on the extender with full use of the DVD’s
menus.
Pictures:
When used as a SageTV extender, any image format that the SageTV server can load
will be viewable on the extender. In stand-alone mode, the image formats that can be viewed
include: JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
