Resumen del manual
Using the Control4 Media Player with the Control4 system allows you to view video files on your TV, and eliminates the need to watch them on your computer. The Control4 system already allows you to browse cover art and play back your DVD and Blu-ray™ discs from any Control4 Navigator. With the addition of the Control4 Media Player, now you can also navigate and play your video files from the same user interface. Using the Media Player Before you start to use the Control4 Media Player (C4-MP2-E), ensure that it is installed, and both the Power and Link lights on the front of the unit are lit. Also ensure that you or your Installer has used the Composer Media view to scan the network-attached storage for videos to use with this player. See Media Player Installation and Setup Guide and Composer User Guide or online Help for more information. Scanning the Media in Composer 1. Use the Composer software (Media Edition or Home Edition, Media View) to identify videos that you want the Media Player to be able to play. Videos can be added manually, or Composer can scan network-attached storage locations to add video files automatically. 2. In Composer click the Media view. 3. Select the network-attached storage where the videos are located, and then click the Scan or New button. Scan will automatically identify some types of video files (normally ISO and IFO/VOBS files in a videoTS folder). Other types of video files can be added using the New button. This action automatically updates the Navigators and provides cover art (if available) for easy video recognition. 4. For videos that haven’t been identified in the scan process, use the New function to add the videos manually. Additional details for advanced functions, such as adding your own cover art, are available in the Composer User Guide online Help.
