1. DMA-1000/1000W Introduction

In future, you will probably want to use all kinds of digital contents for your entertainment. E.g. surf internet, transmit data, watch movies, browse photos, and listen to music. Perhaps you will want to do this not only at your desk or in the study room, but also from everywhere in your house. Nowadays, you capture digital images on your digital camera, you capture digital videos on your digital camcorder, and you rip music from CDs into digital audio files and therefore, your PC is full of digital entertainment. You are disappointed that you can only enjoy these files on your PC, instead of on that large, digital, flat-screen TV you just bought. The ZyXEL digital media adapter DMA-1000/1000W is designed to receive the content from the PC through wired Ethernet networking technology to exchange digital media and control information then display the content to TV with simple audio and video cables.

From the comfort of your own living room, the DMA-1000/1000W allows you to stream all video content to your big flat panel Plasma or LCD TV from your PC with appropriate software. You can also view your digital photo collection on your TV straight from your PC or playback all the digital music from your computer on your stereo system.

Here we will show you two kinds of connection methods on how to deploy ZyXEL DMA-1000/1000W on your home:

yBasic Application: Directly connect to a media server

yAdvanced Application: Connect to a Ethernet Hub/Switch

See following for detail description on these two scenarios.
