components.
The Stream Media Server System
The Stream Media Server system comprises one or more
ContentCentre media storage server connected via Ethernet to one
or more ContentPlayer media players.
ContentCentre stores Videos, Music and Pictures and delivers this
content to ContentPlayers connected to Audio and Video equipment.
The Stream Media Server system can easily be integrated in to
audio, video and home control/distribution systems, such as
Control4, Crestron, RTI and Wyrestorm.
A Stream Media Server system can be as simple as a single
ContentCentre and ContentPlayer in one room. Thanks to energy
conscious design and passive cooling, both the ContentCentre and
ContentPlayer are practically silent in operation and do not
necessarily need to be sited in an equipment rack.
The design of the Stream Media Server system is such that it can be
easily expanded by connecting more players around the network,
allowing for playback of different media per room with different audio
soundtracks if required. The ContentPlayer can automatically
downmix multichannel audio soundtracks for two channel audio

installations where the equipment is centrally located in an
equipment rack, one ContentPlayer can be installed for dedicated
multichannel FullHD Audio and Video playback in a home cinema,
whilst another can be connected to an HDMI Distribution system to
provide stereo playback to other areas in the home.
