MAX-MMS (Multimedia) and MAX-HT (Home Theater) Servers utilize robust internal disk drive systems to keep an ever expanding library of DVDs and CDs well organized, simple to access, and easy to use. MAX servers allow you to efficiently manage hundreds of DVDs and CDs.

MAX servers accommodate single and multi-room video distribution, allowing the user to search and select chapters, titles and tracks. Video is stored in native DVD format to fully capture the quality of the original video. Music is stored in native audio CD format. Additionally, MAX servers provide playback of MP3 files.

MAX servers support up to 25 MAX-AVM audio/video modules, via Ethernet.

MAX servers support 1 or 2 MAX-AOM audio-only modules (each of which can distribute four zones of audio), via USB.
