b.FireBall products can also access music stored on the Vision servers.

5.Can I use any standard network storage device or NAS with the Vi- sion clients to play media over my network?

a.No, you must use the Vision VX-600 NAS because it provides RAID 5 redundan- cy for your music, movies, and photos, Escient Early Detection Monitoring Sys- tem to alert you of possible drive failures, and runs the software which allows Vision Media Management and the ability to access multiple Vision servers to share media over the network.

6.Why does the CONTENT directory on my VX not show my imported movies?

a.Vision is a closed system when it comes to storing your personal DVD movies. Once they are on the Vision system, you can not copy them off the Vision. For this reason, imported ISO movies will not appear in the CONTENT directory.

Only imported Music will appear.
