Importing Movies and Videos

There are two methods for importing your DVD discs into the Vision System. Most commercial DVD discs can be imported to the Vision system using the front panel drive of a VS or VC client on your Ethernet network. Unencrypted movies and videos can be imported from your PC/Mac over the network using standard file sharing techniques.

To import DVD discs to a VX server from a VS or VC:

1.Insert the DVD into the front panel optical disc drive of a VS or VC client.

2.Press BACK on the remote to display the DVD/CD Player Menu.

3.Select IMPORT

4.Read and confirm the Import Agreement.

The DVD will be imported into the Vision system then ejected

(as long as Import and Eject is set on your VS/VC DVD Preferences).

To import movies and videos from your computer:

1.Enter \\vision-vx\into the Address bar of a window on your PC to connect to your Vision VX server.

2.Select the IMPORT volume.

3.Drag your ISO formated movies/videos from your PC to the IMPORT folder.

4.When the import is complete, the movie will be added to the Movies library on your Vision.

If Vision is unable to determine the name of the movie (such as the case if you im- port a home movie) it will appear as “Unknown”. You can edit the metadata for your movie/video to change how it appears in the Movies library.

Importing Music

There are two methods for importing your music into the Vision System. Music CDs can be imported to the Vision system using the front panel drive of a VS or VC client or digital music files can be imported from your PC/Mac over the network.

2.Press BACK on the remote to display the DVD/CD Player Menu.
