7 Using Network

< When connecting the computer directly to the TVIX-HD >

Connect the LAN cable to the LAN port of both the TVIX-HD and the PC.

TIPS

In this case, you generally use a LAN cross cable type.

If the computer’s LAN card was connected to an Internet line, you can install an additional LAN card to your PC and connect that LAN card to the TVIX-HD.

< When connecting with IP Router or Hub >

Connect the LAN cable to the LAN port for an IP Router or Hub.

TIPS

In this case, you generally have to use Direct LAN Cable type.

The UPnP allows you to connect to network easily with uPnP support, and it does not require an IP address.

You can immediately playback uPnP connected files (even full HD files) on wired/wireless network environment.

With Samba Server technology support, it can be used as a network storage device using a window explorer for PC users, and it can also be used like a computer hard disk by specifying the shared folder between users in the same network as a network drive.

Netshare program allows you can play the TP or DVD jukebox without stutter easily.

We recommend sharing files using the NTFS file system. The FAT32 file system does not contain enough information to create a lasting file name, so TVIX-HD doesn't load the file after changing the file name.
