Features
Overview: The NMH410 Media Hub contains a 1 TB (1000 GB) pre-installed Serial-ATA hard disk drive, with a second SATA hard drive bay available if you want to add more storage space. The
Media Hub has an LCD screen with a navigation pad and memory card slots on the front panel. You can store thousands of songs or photos or hundreds of movies for access throughout your home with the
LinkSys Wireless Home Audio system. Multi-stream capability lets you enjoy different media simultaneously: watch a movie while the kids listen to music, and your spouse browses photos.
Typical Uses: The Media Hub can be used for the following purposes:
- Centralized Storage: You can copy all of your media files from all your computers and network devices throughout your home, so all your content is stored in one location for convenient
access. Plus you have backup copies of your media files. You can access the files from anywhere in your home through your network, or with Remote Access Service (fee-based service--1 year included
with product), you can access files remotely on the Internet.
- Digital Media Sharing: The Media Hub automatically indexes the digital media files it stores, so you can use a web browser to access them through the Media Browser. The Media Browser
also lets you access files on USB Storage Devices and Memory Cards connected to the Media Hub.
- On-demand Backups: NTI Shadow is a backup tool installed with the Setup Wizard. A default backup job with an "On Demand" option is created. You can use the LCD screen on the front of
the Media Hub to initiate a backup job. In addition to backing up files on your computer, you can also backup USB storage devices and Memory Cards.
- Automatic Backup of Computers: During installation of NTI Shadow, the Setup Wizard also creates a default backup job, which runs automatically.
LCD Screen: The Media Hub has a 1.8" LCD screen with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and 64,000 colors. The LCD can be used to check system status, configuration and media card backup, and
import progress.
Memory Card Slots: Two memory card slots are provided on the front panel for direct import of photos, music, or video stored on the cards. One slot is for Secure Digital (SD) memory cards,
as well as MultiMediaCards (MMC), extreme Digital cards (xD), and Memory Stick (MS). The other slot will accept CompactFlash (CF) cards.
USB Ports: Two USB ports are provided, one front and one back, for adding USB hard drives or USB flash drives to access your portable files. Both ports are USB 2.0 compatible.
Media Importer: The Media Importer is an import tool automatically installed by the Setup Wizard (on supplied CD-ROM). It is used to automatically find, copy, and update media files to the
Media Hub. Files using the following file formats and extensions are imported:
- Music: .mp3, .wma, .wav, .m4a, .aac, .lpcm, .ogg, .flac, ac3, .mpa, .aif
- Photos: .jpg, .png, .tif, .bmp, .gif
- Videos: .mpg, .mpeg, .mp2, .mp4, .avi, .wmv, .vob, .divx, .3gp, .vdr, .asf, .mpe, .dvr, .xvid, .m1v, .m4v
Ethernet Port: The 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet port connects to an Ethernet network device, such as a router or switch. Two LEDs on the port indicate the speed of the connection (unlit=10
Mbps, green=100 Mbps, orange=1000 Mbps), and activity on the network (amber).
Drive Bays: The NMH410 contains two drive bays on the top of the unit, protected by a cover. A 1 TB SATA hard disk drive is pre-installed in Drive Bay 1. The second bay is open and available
for installing a second SATA hard disk for additional storage.
