The software resides on a PC, NAS, or DVR and aggregates media content so that it can be accessed by a variety of digital home products, such as a networked DVD players and digital media adapters. The Media Server software is ready-to-run on any Windows- or Linux-based system and can be ported onto other platforms as well. In addition, because the software is NMPR-certified and is designed to DLNA guidelines, the Media Server will interoperate with a wide range of digital home devices.
