Page 4 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 MP115 Wireless Audio/Video Digital Media Player User’s Guide Product Highlights This document describes in detail the specification of a Wireless Audio/Video Digital Media Player for the MP115 designed to support UPnP compatible, and UPnP A/V conformant, networked audio/video capable of playing streaming audio (formats are supported: MP3, WMA, MAV, and AAC), video (formats are supported : MPEG1/2/4 and Divx4/5), and images (formats are supported: GIF, JPG, BMP, and TIFF) via a wired or wireless home network. The MP115 Wireless Audio/Video Digital Media Player is a consumer product that delivers high-quality audio and video to stereos/Television (It connects to a television using either Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video, or SCART (optionally for EU versions.) throughout the home. Use the Digital 5’s Streaming Media Server software that provides the tools for managing your digital media. Digital media is organized into the Media Library, which is loaded with your existing media when media files are imported from your media file applications or your hard drive. The Streaming Media Server software also provides the interface between your PC and the Digital Media Player. The Streaming Media Server software must be running in order for the Digital Media Player to communicate with your PC, and bring the media capabilities of your PC to the comfortable confines of your living room. Now, all of the media stored in your PC can be accessed right from your entertainment center. Streaming Media is not limited to audio, but also streams video and brings all of your digital images right to your TV screen. You can opt for the convenience of current wireless networking standards or the security and reliability of good old-fashioned wires. The Streaming Media is a client-server system but not in the traditional sense. It is comprised of a client and a server device. Media stored in the server is played from the client. The Digital Media Player has no permanent storage thus it is called the “client” because its purpose is to browse and playback content. The PC has permanent storage and thus it is called the “server”. Image, movie, and music files can all be “saved” to the Digital Media Player from the PC. The communication between these devices is accomplished across a network, which can either be wired (using the 802.3 Ethernet standard) or wireless using the 802.11b or the 802.11g standard and shall support Atheros 108Mbps throughput with the mini-PCI interface). The MP115 Digital Media Player is sophisticated piece of electronic unit and you must choose a proper working environment for the Digital Media Player. Avoid places that expose the components to dust, grease, extreme temperatures, or high humidity. An environment you’d consider suitable for a stereo receiver or TV should also serve your Digital Media Player well. Arrange the components securely on a firm, level surface, then follow the instructions as user’s guide or relative documents.

Page 16 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 Network Setup Many books have been written about the subject of networking. Therefore, this section is only intended to provide a brief overview of how Digital Media Player works in a home network environment and covers only those issues essential to setting up a proper network for using Digital Media Player. Do You have a Network If you have a single PC and you connect to the Internet with a phone line, chances are you do not have a network. At a minimum, you will need a network interface card (NIC) for your PC, or a USB-to-802.11g/b dongle. You can then attach the Digital Media Player to your PC. See “Wired with Crossover Cable Connection” on page 23. If you have a single PC and you connect to the Internet with a cable or DSL modem, check your modem connection. If the modem has only one network jack, you still don’t have a network. You will need to purchase a different modem or add a router to your network. Note: You can create a network of PCs without access to the Internet. The Internet is simply a common reason to network PCs together. If you have multiple PCs and can share files between them, or all of the PCs can access the Internet through a cable or DSL modem, then you do have a network. However, you will need to determine how your server PC (the PC running the media server software) is assigned a network address. Hubs, Routers, and Switches When PCs are networked together, each PC is attached to a central “box” with 4, 8, 16, or more connections. This box is either a hub, a router, or a switch. They all operate in a similar way, with one important different: a router will assign a network address dynamically, while a hub or switch will not. Network Address: Static or Dynamic A PC (or any network device) is either assigned a network address manually (a static address), or another device on the network (a DHCP server or router) assigns the address dynamically. To determine your address settings under WindowsP®P XP: • Click on Start • Click All Programs, then Accessories, then Command Prompt • At the prompt, type ipconfig/all • Look for the line Dhcp Enabled (you may have to scroll back to see it) To determine your address settings under WindowsP®P Me: • Click on Start • Click Run… • At the prompt, type winipcfg and click OK • Click Details… button • Look for the line DHCP Sercer (if it has an address, DHCP is enabled) If DHCP is enabled, you have a DHCP server on your network. See “Wired with Dynamic Address” on page 22. If DHCP is not enabled, you will need to assign a static address to your Digital Media Player. Take note of the IP Address and Subnet Mask listed by the ipconfig utility, and see “Wired with Static Address” on page 23. Note: If you cannot tell how your network addresses are assigned, then try dynamic address ( DHCP) first. The Digital Media Player will display an error message if it is unable to dynamically configure its address. Overview of Home Networks A Home Network lets you transfer files between PCs as well as share hardware and Internet connections among several users. If you don’t have a network, you can set one up with a network starter kit, which typically includes all of hardware and software you’ll need for a small network. Be sure to get a kit that supports the Windows Plug and Play (PnP) standard, which makes it easier to install the driver software. DHCP (Dynamic Host Client Protocol) Server The easiest way for a device to get an IP address is to have it automatically assigned one by another device , such as a PC or router, so you don’t have to do it manually. If you’re using a cable modem or DSL, cable/ DSL routers typically act as DHCP servers. You can also configure a PC as a DHCP server, as described in any good home networking manual.
Page 17 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 Router and Internet Connection Sharing A “router” is a network device that forwards or “router” TCP/IP data between your network and the Interne. Routers are typically separate boxes that connect to your network and the Internet. However, Windows 98 S/E (and higher) provides a feature called “Internet Connection Sharing” (“ICS”) which lets a PC connected to the Internet act as a simple router and DHCP server. On the Internet side of a router, all of the TCP/IP data seems to be going to a single IP address, while on the network side, the router distributes the data to each node on the network, each with a distinct IP address. Using ICS on a PC can be a daunting task because if something goes wrong, there is litter user interface to help you troubleshoot. Also, if the ICS PC host crashes, every PC and Digital Media Player on the network will lose its Internet connection. Sharing a cable or DSL modem on an ICS host PC will also required two Ethernet adapters in the PC, and figuring out which one is connected can be complicated. For this reason , its much easier to setup a separate hardware router on your network. Wired Home Network In a wired home network, connect the Digital Media Player to your home network hub or router. If your computer is connected directly to a cable or DSL modem, and there is only one network port on the back of the modem, you do not have a home network. To set up your network, purchase a modem or router with additional network ports. A router will allow you to share your Internet connection with other PCs, and allows the Digital Media Player access to your music and images stored on your PC. Preparing for Wired Setup Ethernet requires network cable (called “CAT5”) used exclusively for transmitting the Ethernet signals between devices. When connecting Ethernet devices together, you’ll need an Ethernet hub, or a router, which distributes the Ethernet signal between multiple devices and controls the network traffic. In a wired network, you attach the Digital Media Player to your network with a network cable. One end of the cable attaches to the Digital Media Player, and the other end attaches to your PC, hub, or router. Wired Home Network Connection In a wired home network, all PCs are connected to a network hub or router. This may also act as a cable /DSL modem for sharing an Internet connection. Wired with Dynamic Address Connect the Digital Media Player to your router, just as you would one of your computers. In almost
Page 18 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 Player network settings to wired using DHCP addressing. From the main home screen: all cases, the router works as a DHCP server (i.e., it assigns network address). Set the Digital Media >Press Options >Select Network Setup >Set Connection to Wired (Ethernet) >Select Address >Set Configuration to DHCP >Press left arrow to return to Media Adapter options >Select Apply Changes to apply the network changes Once the Digital Media Player restarts you will be returned to the main home screen. If there are no error messages, your network settings are properly configured. Wired with Static Address If a DHCP server is not available, you must assign the Digital Media Player static address that is valid for your network. The address must be very similar to the address used by your PC, and it cannot be in use by another network PC or device. It is best to determine the addresses of all your PCs before assigning one to your Digital Media Player. Use the method described in item “Network Address: Static or Dynamic” on page 21 to find the static addresses in use, and then pick an available address. For example, you have three PCs on your network: -PC1: 192.168.0.2; PC2: 192.168.0.17; PC3: 192.168.0.11 All with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. For the player, pick on unused address like 192.168.0.20 and use the same netmask of 255.255.255.0. Write the address down for future reference. To configure the Digital Media Player for the static address: >Press Options >Select Network Setup >Set Connection to Wired (Ethernet) >Select Address >Set Configuration to Static >Set IP Address to 192.168.0.20 >Set Netmask to 255.255.255.0 >Press left arrow to return to Media Adapter options >Select Apply Changes to apply the network changes The Digital Media Player will restart and if the Media Server software is running, you should see your images, movies, and music content. Wired with Crossover Cable Connection If you don’t have a home network, it is still possible to access your images, movies, and music on a PC. Connect a network crossover cable (not included) from the Digital Media Player to the network connection on your PC. If your PC does not have a network connection, you will need to purchase a network card.
Page 19 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 255.255.255.0 for both. To configure the Digital Media Player for a crossover cable: Choose a static address for your PC and one for your Digital Media Player. Use a netmask of >Press Options >Select Network Setup >Set Connection to Wired (Ethernet) >Select Address >Set Configuration to Static >Set IP Address to 192.168.0.2 >Set Netmask to 255.255.255.0 >Press left arrow to return to Media Adapter options >Select Apply Changes to apply the network changes Follow the instructions that came with your network card for setting a static IP address of 192.168.0.1 on your PC. Wireless Home Network In a wireless home network, no network cable connection is required. For the best possible reception, rotate the wireless antenna so it extends perpendicular to the Digital Media Player. The Digital Media Player can communicate with wireless access points (infrastructure mode) or directly to PCs with wireless network cards (ad hoc mode). Like all wireless devices, some experimentation may be necessary to find the best location for your Digital Media Player. Signal strength and quality will depend on distance, walls, and building structure. Preparing for Wireless Setup The Digital Media Player supports wireless networking. For the best results, you should setup and test your wireless network before attempting to use the Digital Media Player wirelessly. This will rule out any problems with your network. • Scanning for Wireless Networks The Digital Media Player will scan for available networks. You should know the name of your wireless network, as the Digital Media Player may pick up other wireless networks (WLANs) in your area. The network name is sometimes called the SSID. Note: Your network must broadcast its name for the Digital Media Player to find it. Do not use silent broadcast. • Wireless Reception Wireless reception will vary on distance, access point manufacturer, number of walls, and environment. If possible, try setting up the Digital Media Player in an area that is close to your PC or wireless access point. Once everything is working properly, you can experiment with placement and distance. • Wireless Infrastructure or Ad Hoc These are intimidating names for some very simple concepts. Infrastructure mode, a wireless access point exists on the network. The access point can be in attached to a hub or router, or the router can act as a wireless access point as well. All PCs and wireless devices communicate through the access point. If you do not have a wireless access point or router, you can use Ad Hoc mode. Ad Hoc mode allows communication between a PC with a wireless card and the Digital Media Player. Communication occurs between the devices directly without the need for an access point.
Page 20 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 Wireless Infrastructure Most wireless networks communicate in Infrastructure mode. To configure the Digital Media Player network settings for wireless Infrastructure and DHCP dynamic addressing: >Press Options >Select Network Setup >Set Connection to Wireless (Infrastructure) >The Digital Media Player will scan for wireless local area networks (WLAN). Select WLAN to choose your wireless network if it is not already chosen. >Select Address >Set Configuration to DHCP >Press left arrow to return to Media Adapter options >Select Apply Changes to apply the network changes After restarting, verify the Digital Media Player is able to play images, movies, and music. Wireless Ad Hoc In Ad Hoc mode, an access point does not exist and the Digital Media Player communicates directly with computers containing wireless network cards. It is similar to a static network, without wires. You will need to assign a static address to the Digital Media Player that is appropriate for your network. Use method described in the item “Network Address: Static or Dynamic” on page 21 to find the static addresses in use, and then pick an available address. Note: If you have other wireless PCs or devices, determine all of the addresses before assigning one to your Digital Media Player. Do not assign the same address to more than one device. For example, you can use 192.168.0.1 for your PC, and 192.168.0.2 for your Digital Media Player. Use a netmask of 255.255.255.0 for both.

Wireless Encryption For security reasons, a wireless network can encrypt the network packets broadcast between devices. This type of encryption is called Wired Equivalent Privacy, or WEP. There are two levels of WEP encryption: 64 and 128 bit. You may have heard the numbers 40 and 104 bit used in conjunction with WEP encryption. These are just two different names for the same encryption method. Because there has been no official standardization of these terms, wireless vendors may use either name. Whether you choose 64 or 128 bit is up to you. You must balance higher security versus slower network performance. Connecting Media Server and Network • Plug the power cord of the PC, monitor, router, powered speakers, etc. into an active power outlet. Make sure that the power cords are seated properly in the AC wall outlet. Turn them on. Connection Information This section will help you to choose a proper working environment for the Digital Media Player and its
Page 22 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 humidity. An environment you’d consider suitable for a stereo receiver and network should also serve your peripheral. Avoid places that expose the components to dust, grease, extreme temperatures, or high PC well. Arrange the components securely on a firm, level surface. Orientation of the Wireless Antennas Proper orientation of the wireless antenna is important for good performance. You may find that the Digital Media Player works better with one or more of the antennas in the horizontal (flat) position. The Digital Media Player’s receiver and transmitter tend to operate better in high locations, where the signal path is wider and stronger. You may also need to experiment with the position of the wireless antennas on the transmitter unit. See what position works the best for wireless antennas. Fine Tuning the Digital Media Player Antennas (Wireless) To get the best signal reception, the Digital Media Players should face each other using an imaginary “ line of sight”. You place the transmitter and receiver in separate rooms, or even separate floors of your house, so you don’t have to worry about the Digital Media Players being close to each other. Other barriers in your house may affect the signal, so you may need to adjust the positions of the transmitter and receiver somewhat. Remote Control Unless stated otherwise, the remote control can operate all the features of the Digital Media Player. Always point the remote control directly at the front of the Digital Media Player, not the TV. Point the remote at the IR (infrared) area on the front of the Digital Media Player. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote control and the Digital Media Player. Remote Control Buttons Function

Page 25 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 MP115 Digital Media Player Operation Environment Preliminary This section provides essential information for proper and safe installation and replacement service. Service Considerations The following sections include some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during disassembly and assembly procedures. Note: As you remove each subassembly from the Digital Media Player, place the subassembly (and all accompanying screws) away from the work area to prevent damage. • Plastic Parts Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the maintenance instructions. • Cables and Connectors Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Ensure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables tear easily. Caution: When servicing the Digital Media Player, ensure that cables are placed in their proper locations during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the Digital Media Player. Preventing Electrostatic Damage Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions. A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to electrostatic discharge may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, and then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy. Packaging and Transporting Precautions Use the following grounding precautions when packaging and transporting equipment: • To avoid hand contact, transport products in static-safe containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes. • Protect all electrostatic-sensitive parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or packaging. • Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until the parts arrive at static-free workstations. • Place items on a grounded surface before removing items from their containers. • Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or assembly. • Store reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or nonconductive foam. • Use transporters and conveyors made of antistatic belts and roller bushings. Ensure that mechanized equipment used for moving materials is wired to ground and that proper materials are selected to avoid static charging. When grounding is not possible, use an ionizer to dissipate electric charges. Workstation Precautions Use the following grounding precautions at workstations: • Cover the workstation with approved static-dissipative material. • Use a wrist strap connected to a properly grounded work surface and use properly grounded tools and equipment. • Use conductive field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums. • When using fixtures that must directly contact dissipative surfaces, only use fixtures made of static-safe materials. • Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and Styrofoam. • Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCM laminate. Handle these items only at static-free workstations. • Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
Page 26 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 Grounding Equipment and Methods • Turn off power and input signals before inserting or removing connectors, or test equipment. Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation. • When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, connect a wrist strap with alligator clips. • When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can be used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of 1 megohm resistance between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive strips must be worn in contact with the skin. Other grounding equipment recommended for use in preventing electrostatic damage includes: • Antistatic tape • Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors • Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids • Nonconductive foam • Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of 1 megohm resistance • Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground • Field service kits • Static awareness labels • Material-handling packages • Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes • Metal tote boxes • Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials Table below shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by different activities: Typical Electrostatic Voltage Levels Relative Humidity Event 10% 40% 55% Walking across carpet 35,000 V 15,000 V 7,500 V Walking across vinyl floor 12,000 V 5,000 V 3,000 V Motions of bench worker 6,000 V 800 V 400 V Removing DIPS from plastic tube 2,000 V 700 V 400 V Removing DIPS from vinyl tray 11,500 V 4,000 V 2,000 V Removing DIPS from Styrofoam 14,500 V 5,000 V 3,500 V Removing bubble pack from PWB 26,500 V 20,000V 7,000 V Packing PWBs in foam-lined box 21,000 V 11,000 V 5,000 V Note: A product can be degraded by as little as 700 volts Table below lists the shielding protection provided by antistatic bags and floor mats.

Page 29 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 Glossary 10BaseT/100BaseTX: These are Ethernet standard, which operated at 10Mbps/100Mpbs (megabits per second). Also known as simply Ethernet. 802.11: Standard specifying the characteristics for wireless local area networks. Access Point: An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wires networks together. Ad Hoc: One of two types of wireless networking, usually used for smaller networks. PCs communicate directly with each other without an access point. Album: An album of music released by an artist, or a group of images stored in a folder on a hard drive. BMP: A MicrosoftP™P WindowsP®P standard for storing bitmapped images. AUDIO OUT jacks: Jacks on the rear of the Digital Media Player that send audio to another equipment ( TV, stereo receiver, etc.). Color system: There are various systems for transmitting television signals, for example PAL, SECAM, and NTSC. NTSC is the most common color system in the United States of America. Component Video YPbPr jacks: The Video Out jacks on the rear of the Digital Media Player that send high-quality video to a TV that has Component Video In jacks. The jacks on the Digital Media Player are red, blue, and green. Cable Modem: A class of modem that is used for connecting to a cable TV network, which offers Internet service. Category 5: A type of cabling used by Ethernet networks. Category 5 cable is rated for 100Mbps. Crossover Cable: Most network cables are straight-through cables. A crossover cable has the send and receive connections swapped, which is useful when connecting two network devices together without a hub , router, or switch. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Some music files have security built in so they cannot be copied. DSL Modem: A class of modem used for connecting a digital subscriber line. Digital: Sound that has been converted into numerical values. Digital sound is available when you use the Digital Media Player’s SPDIF COAXIAL and SPDIF OPTICAL jacks, which sends audio through multiple channels instead of two channels as analog does. Dolby® Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used in movie theaters. Ethernet: A popular network technology for connecting PCs and other devices. Also called 10BaseT/ 100BaseTX. Folder: Another name for a subdirectory on a PC. A folder contains other files, such as music or images. Genre: A type of music, such as rock, country, or classical. There are many music genres. GIF: Graphical Interchange Format. A popular format for storing images. Hub: A device that interconnects PC and network devices, sometimes amplifying the signals between them. Icon: A small graphical picture. ID3 Tag: A tagging system that allows the storage of music information such as artist, song title, and album title within the music file. Infrastructure: One of two types of modes used for wireless networking. PCs and devices communicate through a common access point. Access points transmit data to PCs equipped with wireless network adapters, which can roam within a certain range of the access point. IP Address: Internet Protocol address, sometimes referred to as a network address. This is a series of twelve numbers that uniquely identifies a client on the network. For example, 192.168.0.1. Jack: A jack is a socket for attaching the cables. JPEG: JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. However, what people usually mean when they use the “JPEG” is the image compression standard they developed. JPEG was developed to compress still images, such as photographs, a single video frame, something scanned into the PC, and so forth. You can run JPEG at any speed that the application requires. For a still picture database, the algorithm doesn’t have to be very fast. If you run JPEG fast enough, you can compress motion video-which means that JPEG would have to run at 50 or 60 fields per second. This is called motion JPEG or M-JPEG. You might want to do this if you were designing a video editing system. Now, M-JPEG running at 60 fields per second is not as efficient as MPEG 2 running at 60 fields per second because MPEG was designed to take advantage of certain aspects of motion video. LAN: Local Area Network. A small network that typically spans a single building or campus.
Page 30 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 Luma: As mentioned in the definition of chroma, the NTSC and PAL video systems use a signal that has two pieces: the black and white part, and the color part. The black and white part is the luma. It was the luma component that allowed color TV broadcasts to be received by black and white TVs and still remain viewable. Mbps: Abberviation for megabits per second. Modulator: A modulator is basically a circuit that combines two different signals in such a way that they can be pulled apart later. What does this have to do with video? Let’s take the NTSC system as an example, although the example applies equally as well to PAL. The NTSC system may use the YIQ or YUV color space, with the I and Q or U and V signals containing all of the color information for the picture. Two 3.58MHz color subcarriers (90 degrees out of phase) are modulated by the I and Q, or U and V components and added together to create the chroma part of the NTSC video. MP3: An MPEG audio file. This is a very popular format for storing digital music. MPEG: MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an ISO/IEC (International Standards Organization) body that is developing various compression algorithms. MPEG differs from JPEG in that MPEG takes advantage of the redundancy on a frame-to-frame basis of a motion video sequence, whereas JPEG does not. MPEG1: MPEG1 was the first MPEG standard defining the compression format for real-time audio and video. The video resolution is typically 352x240 or 352x288, although higher resolutions are supported. The maximum bit rate is about 1.5Mbps. MPEG1 is used for the Video CD format. MPEG2: MPEG2 extends the MPEG1 standard to cover a wider range of applications. Higher video resolutions are supported to allow for HDTV applications, and both progressive and interlaced video are supported. MPEG2 is used for the DVD-Video and SVCD formats, and also forms the basis for digital SDTV and HDTV. MPEG4: MPEG4 uses an object-based approach, where scenes are modeled as compositions of objects, both natural and synthetic, with which the user may interact. Visual objects in a scene are described mathematically and given a position in a two- or three-dimensional space. Similarly, audio objects are placed in a sound place. Thus, the video or audio object need only be defined once; the viewer can change his viewing position, and the calculations to update the audio and video are done locally. Classical “rectangular” video, as from a camera, is one of the visual objects defined in the standard. In addition, there is the ability to map images onto computer-generated shapes, and a text-to-speech interface. Network: A collection of PCs, printers, and devices that are connected together in order to share resources. Network Cable: A cable similar to a telephone line, except large. A telephone cable typically has four wires , and a network cable has eight. Also called an RJ45 cable. NIC: Network Interface Card. Also called a network adapter, a NIC is a device that connects a PC to a network. Usually this is a card that installs in the PC. PC: A personal computer. Playlist: A file containing a list of music files used to play tracks in a particular order. The most common playlist format is m3u. PNG: Portable Network Graphics. A popular graphics file format for storing images. Ripping: A slang term for converting a music CD into compressed music files. Music tracks are ripped from the CD, compressed, and stored digitally on a hard drive. RGB: Red-Green-Blue. A top-quality video connection where red, green, and blue components of the picture are carried through separate wires. This also is referred to as the component video connection. Router: A device similar to a hub. A router moves data between different network segments, and allow all users in a network to share a single connection to the Internet. SCART jack: A SECAM video system. This is another color video format similar to PAL. The major differences between the two are that in SECAM the chroma is FM modulated and the R-Y and B-Y signals are transmitted line sequentially. SECAM stands for Sequentiel Couleur Avec Memoire or Sequential Color with Memory. Server: A PC or software program that provides services to clients. In this document, the term server refer to the media software running on a PC. SNR: Signal-to-noise ratio is the magnitude of the signal divided by the amount of unwanted stuff that is interfering with the signal (the noise). SNR is usually described in decibels, or “dB” for short; the bigger
Page 31 of 36 2BDF0-020017 REV.00 the number, the better looking the picture. SSID: Service Set Identifier. A network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive. SPDIF COAXIAL jack: Sends digital audio to a stereo receiver, allowing you to adjust the volume at stereo receiver. The stereo receiver must have a Coaxial In jack. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters. The SPDIF COAXIAL jack on the Digital Media Player is orange. Note: SPDIF short for Sony/Philips Digital InterFace. This is a consumer interface used on transfer digital audio. A serial, self-clocking scheme is used, base on a coax or fiber interconnect. The audio samples may be 16-24 bits each. 16 different sampling rates are supported, with 32, 44.1, and 48KHz being the most common. IEC 60958 now fully defines this interface for consumer and professional applications. SPDIF OPTICAL jack: Sends digital audio to a stereo receiver, allowing you to adjust the volume at stereo receiver. The stereo receiver must have an Optical In jack. This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters. The SPDIF OPTICAL jack on the Digital Media Player is gray. Static Address: A network address that does not change and usually assigned manually. S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending separate for the luminance and the color. Separate video, also called Y/C video. Separate luma (Y) and chroma (C) video signals are used, rather than a single composite video signal. By simply adding together the Y and C signals, you generate a composite video signal. The IEC 60933-5 standard specifies the S-Video connector, including signal levels. Switch: A devices similar to a hub, but smarter. It improves network performance by reducing competition for bandwidth. System Tray: The Windows system tray, usually located in the lower-right corner of the display. VIDEO OUT (Composite Video) jack: Yellow jack on the rear of the Digital Media Player that sends video to a TV. WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy. A method of encryption designed to give wireless networks the same security found on wired networks. Wi-Fi: Wireless Fidelity. Another term for wireless networking using the 802.11 standard. WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network. A wireless LAN does not use cable to transmit signals, but rather uses radio to transmit packets through the air. WMA: Windows Media Audio file. A popular format for storing audio files, created by MicrosoftP™P and used by Windows Media Player. YIQ: YIQ is a color space optionally used by the NTSC video system. The Y component is the black-and- white portion of the image. The I and Q parts are the color difference components; these are effectively nothing more than color placed over the black and white, or luma, component. Many people use the YIQ notation rather than Y’IQ or Y’I’Q’. The technically correct notation is Y’I’Q’ since all three components are derived from R’G’B’. YPbPr: YPbPr is scaled version of the YUV color space, with specific levels and timing signals, designed to interface equipment together. For HDTV interfaces, a 0.3V tri-level sync signals are used, while for SDTV interfaces, a 0.3V bi-level sync signal is present. Most use the YPbPr notation rather than Y’PbPr or Y’Pb’Pr’. The technically correct notation is Y’Pb’Pr’ since all three components are derived from R’G’B’. YUV: YUV is the color space USED BY THE NTSC and PAL video systems. As with the YIQ color space, the Y is the luma component while the U and V are the color difference components. Many people use the YUV notation when they actually mean YCbCr data. Most use the YUV notation rather than Y’UV or Y’U’V’. The technically correct notation is Y’U’V’ since all three components are derived from R’G’B’. YUV is also the name for some component analog interface on consumer equipment. Some manufacturers incorrectly label YCbCr. THX certification requires it to be labeled YPbPr.
