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.
