Step 4: Add MAX-AVPs and AVM/AOM Modules to the HT Server

Before you can use MAX-AVP Audio-Video Players MAX-AVM or MAX-AOM modules, they must each first be added to the server, via the Output Module Setup options in the MAX Admin Menu. You should add the modules/players to the server before making any physical connections.

Adding MAX-AVP Players and/or MAX-AVM Modules

Complete these steps for each MAX-AVM Audio-Video module and/or MAX-AVP Audio-Video Player that you want to add to the MAX-HT:

HT Servers treat MAX-AVPs exactly the same as MAX-AVMs, and the process of adding them is identical.

1.In the MAX Admin Menu, select: Output Module Setup > Add Output Module > AVM.

2.In the Enter Output Number field, specify the output on the server that you want to assign to this AVP or AVM (range = 1 - 33). Each AVP/AVM requires one output. Select OK to proceed.
