Enjoying the Home Media Gallery

With Home Media Gallery, you can enjoy digital content such as movies, music and photo files. These files can be saved on one or more media servers connected by a home network (LAN) or from content stored on USB devices. After connecting via an Ethernet hub to a media server with network software*, you can navigate through the server’s digital content using the Plasma Display. For USB interface, the Plasma Display supports Mass Storage Class devices.

*Referred to as a “media server” that contains digital content such as movies, music and photo files. PCs that have pre- installed media server software and recorders with a media server function are considered the media server. Use PCs that have a Windows Media Connect (WMC) server or DLNA compliant server for the Home Media Gallery function.

Take a Windows Media Connect (WMC) server for example: Microsoft Media Server is freeware and works with any music jukebox-type software, although is optimized for Windows Media Player.
