Sharing Media on the Home Network

With CyberLink Media Server on your main home PC, you can open your media folders and files to your home network. SoftDMA will automatically locate Media Server on your network from another PC and all the folders and files you have given access to.

Your basic setup involves:

• Your main home PC connected to the network
• Video, photo, and music files stored on your main home PC
• Media Server installed on your main home PC
• Another PC (such as a notebook) connected to your network, with CyberLink SoftDMA installed

Stream Media Between CyberLink SoftDMA and CyberLink Media Server

You already rip CDs and organize your music library on your main home PC. No doubt you also have a growing collection of digital photos and video stored on your PC too. Now you can access your photos, videos, and music files - without copying them - on any other PC connected to your network.

• Do all your media management on your main home PC
• Share your media folders and files via Media Server on your main home PC
• Access your media folders and play files using SoftDMA on another PC

Use SoftDMA to Play Media Available on a DNLA-Certified Media Server

SoftDMA not only works with CyberLink Media Server, it works with any media server that's certified to the DNLA specifications for home networking. This means that other devices - such as the latest digital hybrid TVs, home theater systems, and audio systems - may also operate as a media server too. SoftDMA automatically detects these media servers connected to your home network.

• Automatically locate other networked DLNA-certified servers with SoftDMA
• Access digital media stored on these devices, such as live or recorded TV and captured video from Windows Media Center
• Play digital media with SoftDMA

Stream Files From Media Server to a DLNA-Certified Media Player

CyberLink Media Server expands the power of your home network. DLNA-certified, third-party media players - such as the latest portable hardware players and home entertainment systems - can access media stored on your home PC via CyberLink Media Server.

• Open your media folders and files to your home network using Media Server
• Search for your media files using a DLNA-certified device such as a portable media player
• Play music and videos, and browse photos, using your media player
