Chapter 1. Welcome to the HP MediaSmart

Server

The HP MediaSmart Server protects and shares digital content—providing an easy-to-use, central

repository for digital photos, music, videos, and documents. The HP MediaSmart Server supports

computers running Microsoft® Windows® and Apple® Mac® OS X, enabling a more protected

and reliable way of managing media and files.

The HP MediaSmart Server Provides

•Mac and Windows Supported Operating Systems

and Mac OS X 10.5 or later computers.

•HP Photo Viewer and HP Photo Publisher

A simple photo management and sharing tool that lets you

share photos directly from the server or through popular

photo sharing web sites like snapfish, facebook, flickr, and

Picasa Web Albums.

Photo web site services are subject to change without notice

and some services may not be available at the time of

product purchase. The available service providers may vary in your country/region.

•Media Collector

Media Collector automatically collects photos, music, and video files from computers on the

network and organizes them on the server.

•Media Streaming and Remote Media Streaming

enjoy your photos, music, and videos—while on the network or away—with remote media

streaming to any Internet-connected computer.

An automatic backup process for Windows PCs and Apple Macs on your home network.

Automatic backup of computers running Microsoft Windows® Vista (32 & 64 bit), XP Home

Machine.

•iTunes Music Server

Any computer on the network that runs iTunes can access music on the server as an iTunes shared

library.
