Welcome to DivX Connected
DivX Connected™ includes everything you need to access digital media (video, music and photos) and
services through devices and Personal Computers (PCs) connected to TVs and stereo systems. The
devices browse and retrieve the media from home PCs, other networked devices and from online
services.
DivX Connected Network
This section describes the features of the
DivX Connected Server
and
DivX Connected devices
and
what you need to set them up.
What Is the DivX Connected Server?
The DivX Connected Server provides the user experience and media to the DivX Connected device(s) on
your network. The DivX Connected Server:
•
Performs PC-based media and device management, and
•
Provides the user interface (menus) and media to the device.
The DivX Connected Server can run simultaneously on any number of computers in your network. DivX
Connected devices can access any of these servers for media.
When a DivX Connected device sends a request to the DivX Connected Server for a connection, a file,
etc., the DivX Connected Server responds by accepting or denying the connection request, then sending
a file or an error message. The DivX Connected Server also handles the more elaborate response to a
DivX Connected device request for protected media, which requires a series of intricate validations to
enable you to play back the media.
