2.1) The NDAS network technology
The network connection is based on NDAS technology. NDAS (Network
Direct Attached Storage) is a patented technology from XIMETA, which
allows digital media to be integrated directly into the network. Neither a
server nor an IP address or the TCP/IP protocol is required for this direct
connection; the NDAS device software simply needs to be installed.
All users who have installed the NDAS device software can directly control
and use mounted devices (i.e. devices integrated into the system). In this
case, "
direCt
" means that the installed NDAS devices are integrated into
"
m
