4: Using the Slingbox

The SlingPlayer is the desktop application you use to watch your video source. See "Using the SlingPlayer applica-
tion" on page 43 for a description of the controls.
SlingStream
The Slingbox streaming feature, called SlingStream, is specifically designed to address varying network conditions
in order to optimize your video playback experience.
SlingStream automatically provides the best possible video experience at any given time, although you can also
manually change the settings.
Note: In the initial streaming process, you may notice jittery video as SlingStream is optimizing and adjusting the
stream.
