The media server is a versatile development that is capable of storing thousands of files and has the capacity to send information simultaneously to different outputs. Media Servers provide owners with the ability to create their own digital library of: photographs, home videos, films, TV shows, and music. Once all of your CDs, DVD's, digital photos and other media are on the server, every TV in your home can display the content from the server with the click of a button.
