4 Working with Nero MediaHome
Nero MediaHome is a UPnP™ media server. It lets you share media files (audio, image, and
video files). This means that all users in the local network have access to the files. Players
that are compatible with the UPnP™ standard can use, play and display released media
files. UPnP™ compatible players include Nero ShowTime, XBox 360
TM
and TVs (via UPnP™
box if required).
Nero MediaHome makes the media files available in the format (transcodes them) required
by the respective player. Transcoding is performed in real time.
Television channels as well as Internet services (web TV, audio/video/image casts) entered
in Nero Scout can also be transmitted, used, played and displayed on players thanks to Nero
MediaHome.
Nero Scout is a Nero Suite application and is automatically installed when Nero Suite is
installed. Nero Scout indexes and catalogs all media files on your computer. It also enables
you to subscribe to and manage Internet services. You will find further information in the
Nero Scout manual.
