Chapter 2: Getting Started

Overview

The Media Hub is designed to store your media content in
one location for convenient access. (There are additional
ways to use the Media Hub; refer to Chapter 3: Ways to
Use the Media Hub, page 8.)
The Media Hub offers three ways to help you copy files
to the Media Hub. This chapter describes how to use the
Media Importer, NTI Shadow, and the Drag-and-Drop
feature. (FTP is another option for copying files.)
You can copy media files from a computer or other
network device. You can also copy media files from a USB
storage device or memory card directly connected to the
Media Hub.
NOTE: Only the Media Hub with LCD (NMH400
Series) supports direct connection of memory
cards.

automatically installed by the Setup Wizard. Use it to
automatically find, copy, and update media files to the
Media Hub. In the future, any changes made or new files
added will be automatically updated on the Media Hub.

imported:
