2 Overview of MediaMVP MediaMVP bridges the home PC with television sets. MediaMVP is located at the TV set, and through your home local area network receives digital audio (MP3, W M A and W AV music), digital video (MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or DivX video), digital pictures (JPEG, BMP and GIF digital pictures) and Internet radio from a PC. MediaMVP then decodes the digital media and displays the decoded media on a TV set, TV monitor or plasma monitor. On your TV set, MediaMVP lists media which can be played. MediaMVP can be connected to your local area networks via either its 10/100Mbps Ethernet connection or the built-in 54Mbps 802.11g wireless adaptor . It can also connect to Ethernet based LAN adapters such as Home Plug or wireless game adapters. The PC where both the MediaMVP software is loaded plus where your media files are located needs to be on the same network node as the MediaMVP. In general, if you have the PC and the MediaMVPs connected to the same network hub, access point or router, this requirement is satisfied. Up to 12 MediaMVPs can be connected on a network. This means you can have a MediaMVP connected to the TV in your bedroom, one to the TV in the living room, one in the den, etc. The only limitation is that all the MediaMVPs need to be on the same network segment as the PC where your MediaMVP files are stored. Internet radio is played by having the PC connect to an Internet radio station and then send streaming MP3 or W M A audio from the radio station to the MediaMVP. Only internet radio stations which are directly accessible via the Internet are supported. DivX video playing is done via a transcode process. When you chose to play a DivX video, your PCs processor first decodes the DivX video in software, then reencodes the video into a high bit-rate MPEG-1 format. The PC then transmits the high bit-rate MPEG video over your network to the MediaMVP, where it is decoded and played on your TV set.
3 Step 1: Connecting MediaMVP to your network or PC Technically speaking MediaMVP s CPU engine (a 350 DMIPS PowerPC) runs the Linux operating system, plus has dedicated multimedia hardware for decoding MPEG video, audio and music. MediaMVP runs in a client/server system , where the server can be a PC running either Windows XP Home, XP Professional or Windows 2000. The PC can be used for normal tasks while acting as the MediaMVP server. The application running on the MediaMVP is loaded from the PC when you turn on MediaMVPs power, therefore allowing updateable software via Internet downloads. MediaMVP decodes full CCIR601 resolution NTSC and PAL encoded MPEG-2 bit streams in real time, up to and including 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL). MPEG video rates range from 1.5 Mbps to 10 Mbps (higher in bursts), limited by the LAN bandwidth. MediaMVP will upscale 320x240 V C D video to full screen. A tunable Anti-Flicker Filter is included to improve the video quality of media seen on the TV set. You can connect MediaMVP to your PC through a network or directly to the PC or laptop. You can use either method. Connecting MediaMVP through a Network: l Wired connection Using a standard Ethernet network cable (the Ethernet cable supplied or any Ethernet cable less than 300 feet long), plug one end into the LAN port of the MediaMVP, and the other end of the Ethernet cable into a Ethernet port of a network hub, router or switch. You can use 10Mbit or 100Mbit router/switches. If you are using your own cables, use Category 5 Ethernet cable for best results. Note: the MediaMVP needs to be on the same network subnet as the PC where you loaded the MediaMVP Server application. Therefore, plug the MediaMVP into the same router as you’ve plugged your PC. If you have multiple routers, with the PC on a different router than the MediaMVP, the MediaMVP will not load the MediaMVP application. l Wireless connection When connecting MediaMVP to your network in wireless mode the only thing you need to make sure is that the wireless access point you are going to connect to is turned on. Connecting MediaMVP directly to a PC or laptop: l Wired connection If you would like to connect MediaMVP directly to a PC or laptop, you will need a crossover cable. You cannot use a standard Ethernet cable to directly connect the MediaMVP toa PC or laptop. Please see the section entitled “Connecting MediaMVP to a PC or laptop”. l Wireless connection In order to connect MediaMVP directly to a PC or laptop wirelessly, you will need to have a wireless adapter installed on your PC or laptop and configure the operating mode to “Ad-Hoc” mode. Please see the section entitled “Connecting MediaMVP to a PC or laptop wirelessly”.
4 Step 2: Connecting MediaMVP to your TV set Step 3: Installing the MediaMVP software on your PC Connecting to a TV set: Note: Your TV set needs to have A/V input jacks. If your TV only has RF inputs (normally from a TV antenna), then you will need to use a Video-to-RF modulator, which can be purchased from RadioShack. Using the supplied Video cable set, connect one end of the Composite video (yellow RCA jack) cable to the yellow jack on theMediaMVP and connect the other end to the Video Input jack on your TV set. Connect one end of the Left Audio (white RCA jack) cable to the white jack on the MediaMVP, and connect the other end to the Left Audio input on your TV set. Connect one end of the Right Audio (red RCA jack) cable to the red jack on the MediaMVP, and connect the other end to the Right Audio input on your TV set. Note: If your TV set has only one audio input, use just MediaMVPs Left audio cable. On your TV set: To use the MediaMVP, you need to select the Video Input on your TV set. Each TV set does this differently, but many TV sets have a button marked TV/Video . Clicking this button normally switches from the TV tuner inside your TV set to the Audio/Video inputs being used by MediaMVP. Some TV sets have a TV/Video button on the remote. If you cannot find a way to switch to Video Input on your TV set, refer to the TV set manual. When you have made all your network and TV connections, boot your PC and run the MediaMVP Setup program from the MediaMVP Installation CD-ROM. Click the Start button, then Run and then the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive (for example: D:\), then Setup.EXE This should take a few minutes and is automatic.
5 Step 4: Power on the MediaMVP After the MediaMVP Setup program has been run, turn on the MediaMVP by plugging in the power adapter. By default, MediaMVP will check for your Ethernet connectivity to decide whether or not to enter the wireless setup page. Wired mode (RJ45 cable plugged in): If MediaMVP detects the Ethernet connection (RF45 Ethernet cable is plugged in), it will by pass the wireless setup page and start to load client application. No configuration required. Wireless mode (RJ45 cable unplugged): MediaMVP will enter the “Setup” page automatically if it detects no Ethernet connection is present. When operating in wireless mode, MediaMVP automatically connects to the closest, unsecured (WEP turned off) wireless access point (or one has the strongest signal strength) by default. Therefore, no other setting is required to get your MediaMVP up and running. You can enter the “Network Status” page to see if MediaMVP is connected to the desired wireless access point by checking if the current SSID matches your access point’s SSID. If MediaMVP does not connect to the desired wireless access point, you can go to the “wireless setup” page on the main manual to change it. On the wireless setup screen (see left) Press “OK” on the “Network Name (ESSID)” field to enter the SSID setting page. On the SSID setup screen (see left), either use the remote control to key in the desired SSID or simply choose a wireless access point you wish to connect to from the list below.
6 If you have a Firewall on your network Now go back to the main manual and go to “Exit” to start the main application. MediaMVP will then display the following messages on your TV set: 1. Contacting DHCP Server 2. Contacting MediaMVP Bootserver 3. Loading application 4. Starting application 5. Contacting server 6. Go menu You are now ready to experience digital media on your TV set! If you cannot get beyond “Contacting DHCP Server”: you are not connected to your hub, router or access point, or your cabling is defective. If you are directly connecting your MediaMVP to a PC and you get this message continuously, then you might be either, in wired mode, using a straight through ethernet cable instead of the crossover cable or, in wireless mode, did not correctly configure the wireless adaptor on your laptop or PC. If you cannot get beyond “Contacting MediaMVP Bootserver”: your PC might be protected by a firewall, or the MediaMVP services have not started on your PC. Turn off your firewall to see if this is causing this problem, and if so, you need to re-configure your firewall to allow the MediaMVP to access your PC (see Troubleshooting section). Note: if you need to reboot MediaMVP, remove the power plug from MediaMVP, wait 5 seconds and plug it back in. Step 4: Power on the MediaMVP Many people install firewalls on PC networks to prevent unauthorized access to data in your PC. If you have a firewall such as Zone Alarm, you will need to configure the firewall to allow the MediaMVP to access a server application running on your PC. ZoneAlarmPro Firewall There are four firewall alert menus which pop up during the first use of MediaMVP. For each of these alerts, you should allow access by clicking Yes. Examples of warning messages are in the Troubleshooting section. To avoid warning messages from popping up each time you use MediaMVP, select “Remember this answer”.
7 Searching for media on your PC There are two MediaMVP services which will require access to your network: HcwSMS.exe and MVPMedia.exe Grant access to both of these programs. The built-in Windows XP Firewall Currently you need to disable this firewall for the MediaMVP to work correctly. Instructions to do this are in the Troubleshooting section. Please check our web site for updates which might allow the Windows XP Firewall to operate at the same time as the MediaMVP. After installing the MediaMVP, there are two ways of finding media on your PC. You can ither manually search for media from the TV set using MediaMVPs Settings menu, or you can automatically search for media using the MediaMVP Search for Media program on your PC. To start the Search Folders program from the PC, click Windows Start, then Program s, and under Hauppauge MediaMVP run the Search Folders program. You will see a menu which allows you to select the Media Type (music, videos, pictures) and the directories to be searched. Select the Media Type and the Search In directory (chose My Computer to look in all directories) and click Search. Once you start the search, any directory with the media type selected will appear in the Search Results box. To add a directory, click on it and then click Add. Note: right click your mouse in the Favorites list, then click Add to manually add a specific path (for example: when you already know where your music is on your disk drive, add that directory). Right click your mouse on a directory, then click Remove to delete a directory. When you are finished searching for your media, close the Search application.
8 MediaMVP menus The directories selected will be listed on the TV set in MediaMVP s Video, Music, Pictures menus. Searching for media from the MediaMVP You can also chose directories for music, digital pictures and videos from the MediaMVP Settings menu. For instructions, in the section entitled MediaMVP menus , look at the Settings menu. Note: the first time you enter a directory, it takes a long time (as long as several minutes) while thumbnail images are created. The next time you enter the directory, the response will be immediate. You can also turn off thumbnailing in the Settings/Configuation menu. MediaMVP Main menu MediaMVP s main menu guides you to Music, Videos and Pictures. Also, through Settings, the user can navigate to media stored on their PC. Note: your PC must be running and both the PC and MediaMVP must be connected to the network before the Main menu will be displayed on your TV set. Note: To access the Main menu at any point, click Go on the remote control.
9 Music menu The Music menu will show MP3 files, WMA audio or Music Playlists which are located in selected directories on your PC.

To pause the video while playing, click the Pause button on the remote. To rewind through the video, click the Rewind button on the remote. While playing videos, the audio volume can be adjusted through the Vol+ and Vol - keys. Tips for DivX playback - Simultaneous playback of DivX videos is not possible from multiple MediaMVPs - DivX playback requires a minimum 1.8 Gigahertz Pentium4 processor or faster in your PC. If your processor is not fast enough, you will lose lip synch as you watch your - Videos - MediaMVP can scale DivX videos up to full screen, but can only do this on videos of exactly 320x240 or 640x480. If your videos are another format, they will be letter- boxed on your TV set. - After using the Fast-Forward and Fast-Rewind buttons a loss of speech synchronization may occur.
12 Radio menu MediaMVP allows you to listen to Internet Radio stations through your TV set. MediaMVP accomplishes this by opening a special link on your PC to the Internet radio station, and then taking the audio coming from that link and streaming it over the network to the MediaMVP, where the audio is output to the TV set. To play an Internet radio station through the MediaMVP, the Internet radio station must do two things: - it must transmit audio in either MP3 or in W M A formats. Some radio stations transmit using Real audio, which the MediaMVP cannot currently play. - the Internet radio station must be accessible via a direct Internet link. In other words, you need to be able to put a URL in Internet Explorer and reach the Internet radio station directly without going through any levels of indirection. An example of a website which has direct links to Internet radio stations is Shoutcast. Here is how you can listen to Internet radio using MediaMVP: Step 1: Create a link to an Internet radio station on your PC Open Internet Explorer and go to a page with Internet Radio stations. Shoutcast is one example: http://www.shoutcast.com Remember: you must be selecting Internet radio stations which can be directly accessed by your browser (and not via a redirected URL). There are many Internet radio stations which do not allow a direct link to the station. These Internet radio stations cannot be played by MediaMVP.
13 Choose an Internet Radio station or program and use your RIGHT mouse button to click on the button which allows you to listen to a station (for example, the Tune In button in Shoutcast). When you click your RIGHT mouse button, a Pop-Up Menu will appear. Choose Add to MVP Favorite Radio Stations. A window will pop up entitled MVP Radio Station. You will be asked to name your added Radio station. You can do so if you like, or leave the default. You can also place the radio station in a category (you will see these categories on your TV set via the MediaMVP). When you are finished naming your radio station, click OK. Step 2: Add radio stations to the MediaMVP media list Now we need to add the Internet Radio station directory to the MediaMVP media list so that the MediaMVP can "see" them. On your Windows screen, click Start / Programs /Hauppauge MediaMVP then Search for Media. (this program also can be found in Program Files/Hauppauge MediaMVP directory) Under Media Type: choose Radio Stations and click on Search. After a few moments, you will see a list of directories on your local hard disks which have MediaMVP links to Internet Radio stations. Click on those directories you would like to have MediaMVP list on your TV set, click Add and then click on Save. Step 3: Playing an Internet radio station on the MediaMVP Click the Go button on the MediaMVP remote. Click on the Radio button. If you have set up the directories (the paragraph above), you will see a MyRadio listing. Go to this directory. In the directory, you will see a list of Internet radio stations you have made links to.
14 To start playing an Internet radio station, use your remote control to select the station and then click the Play button. Note: If you click on a radio station and the audio does not start within a few seconds, the radio station cannot be accessed by the MediaMVP. One reason for this is that this station cannot be accessed directly (it uses redirection to get to the station). Another reson might be that the radio station does not transmit audio in one of the formats MediaMVP can play (currently MP3 and WMA). How the Internet radio stations are named, stored and played by the MediaMVP: When you are browsing Internet radio stations while in Internet Explorer, and you right click on a link to an Internet radio station, the MediaMVP application running on the PC makes a note of the URL the link is pointing to. The MVP Radio Station pop up menu then is run, allowing you to name the link and also put the link into a category (for example: Jazz), and then a file is created in the My Radio directory with that name. The file extension is .MVP, and within the file is the URL of the radio station. When you want to play a radio station, the MediaMVP application running on the PC opens that file, goes to the URL within the file and then streams the audio over your network to the MediaMVP, where the audio is then played out to your TV set. If the file holds a link which is not valid (a link which does not directly point to an Internet radio station), then the MediaMVP radio software waits for about 1 minute before it senses that it cannot open the URL and find a radio station. MediaMPV will then return to the Radio menu. Settings menu Setting directories for Music, Videos, Pictures and Internet radio The Settings menu is where you can chose the directories on your PC where your Music, Video and Pictures media are stored. Also, the Settings menu has a Configuration menu where you can set the video format (NTSC or PAL), video size (4:3 or 16:9), and flicker reduction (none, low, medium, high) for your TV set. When you enter the Settings:music, Settings:video or Settings:pictures menus, you will see a listing of directories (such as My Documents) and drives (disk drives, floppy drives or CDROM drives) on your PC.
15 To find media within a drive, scroll down to the directory (C:\ for example) and then click the OK button on your remote control. This will bring the contents of the selected directory onto your TV screen. To select subdirectories, scroll down to the subdirectory and hit the OK button. You will see if the media type you are looking for (music, videos, pictures) exists in the directory chosen by having any existing media listed. To add a directory, hit the green button on the remote. If you would like to delete a directory from the list you see when entering Videos, Music or Pictures from the Main menu, hit the red button on the remote. Other settings Thumbnails In the Configuration menu, you can turn thumbnails on or off. Thumbnails are small images of your digital pictures or a small image taken from the first frame of a video when browsing through lists of Videos or Pictures. If your PC slows down when viewing directories of Videos or Pictures, you should turn Thumbnails off. Flicker filter The flicker filter removes flickering which might appear on some TV sets when displaying text. High end TV sets can use the filicker filter turned off, while normal TV sets might look better if flicker filter is set to medium or high.
16 Remote control Power button: the Power button will bring the MediaMVP into a standby mode and will turn off the video output. It will not turn off the MediaMVP completely. When you click the Power button again, the MediaMVP will resume from standby and turn on its video output. If you want to reset MediaMVP, you need to remove the power plug for a few seconds, then reconnect it. Go button: displays the M ain menu. When in any menu, clicking the G o button will bring up the Main menu. OK button: the OK button is similar to the Enter key. Menu button: brings up the Sub menu. For example, when in the Music menu, clicking the Menu button will bring up the sub menu allowing the selection of Play all / Sort by date / Sort by name / Shuffle. Back button: goes back to the previous menu. For example, if you have entered a directory and you d like to return to the previous directory, click Back. Pause button: will pause the music, video or slideshow currently playing. Click Play or Pause again to continue playing from where you left off. Vol- and Vol+ buttons: you can control the audio volume by using internal hardware in the MediaMVP. This means you can adjust the audio volume without having to use your TV sets remote control. Skip ahead and Skip back: the Skip buttons are used to skip 6 items ahead or backwards when in the media lists (music, videos and pictures) or when viewing pictures. When playing videos, Skip advances the video 30 seconds. Number 0 to 9 buttons: When viewing lists of media, or when playing videos, the number keys moves you to 10% when you hit the 1 key, 20% when you hit the 2 key, etc. When viewing lists, the number buttons will move you to positions within the list. For exam - ple, if you are looking at a list of videos in the Music menu, hitting the 5 button will move you to 50% of the way through the list. When watching a video, you can quickly skip through the video by hitting the 0-9 buttons. When you hit one of these keys, you will skip to, for example, 10% of the video file when you hit the ’1’ key, 20% of the video file when you hit the ’2’ and so forth.
