3.2 File Sharing Configuration

This function allows the ITB-3001 as a simple NAS device, you can access folders located on the ITB-3001 for viewing, renaming, moving and deleting by networking from your remote computer.

Setup Audio Video Network System Other Wired LAN Setup DHCP Not ready Wireless Setup DHCP Not ready File Sharing On Off On Back OK Enter

To activate this feature, please make sure:

• The ITB-3001 is connected to the network;
- The network is properly set up. For more information on this part, please refer to "Step 2" in "Setting up ITB-3001" section, and "Network" under "Setup Menu".

To allow the ITB-3001 to access folders on your computer, you need:

1) ITB-3001 already connected to the network
2) To designate the folders/files on your PC as shared resources.

Please refer to Microsoft's official website:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/homenet.m spx to see the initial and detailed process of Home Network Setup in Windows XP. Please refer to the following instructions to allow the ITB-3001 to access the shared folders on the remote PC.

Step1: Right click on the folder to be shared and select Sharing and Security.

Choose to either run the Wizard or do it yourself. XP display another warning. If you want the firewall enabled, select Use the wizard to enable file sharing. Otherwise, select enable file sharing.

Note

File sharing may lead to security problems since, by definition, it gives other users access to the content of a part of the hard drive. As a result, it is essential that you share only folders for which it would not be extremely important if their contents are revealed.

Step 3: You may now specify a "Share Name", which will be used for users on the network to access the shared folder. The icon of the shared folder will be changed to showing a hand holding the folder.

My Pictures Properties General Sharing Web Sharing Local sharing and security To share this folder with other users of this computer only, drag it to the Shared Documents folder.

BitTorrent is the leading and the most common peer-to-peer file-sharing communications protocol. The ITB-3001 built-in BitTorrent client/engine allows this product to download media files to the external USB device or to the remote PC. This BT download process is computer-free. First, you need to prepare at least one USB hard drive with at least 20GB of free capacity, in the format of NTFS or EXT-3, and connect it to the USB port on the rear panel of the ITB-3001.

Note

Please do not download illegal files or contents.

Strongly suggests to use another HDD for Torrent Download, DO NOT use the HDD that mixed important information.

To activate this feature, please make sure:

• The ITB-3001 is connected to the network;

- The network is properly set up. For more information on this part, please refer to "Step 2" in "Setting up ITB-3001" section, and "Network" under "Setup Menu".

5.2 Flicker

The ITB-3001 supports Flicker viewing; you also can search photos you want to see on this function.

5.3 VLC Station

This chapter shows you how to setup a computer to work with the STB in a demonstration scenario. This demonstration used example files contained on the CD that came with your STB

graph LR
    PC["PC\n192.168.0.200"] --> IPSTB["IP STB\nIP Soft-Top Box\n192.168.0.100"]

    style PC fill:#cce5ff,stroke:#333
    style IP STB fill:#e6f7ff,stroke:#333
    style TV fill:#ffe6e6,stroke:#333

You can setup your computer act as a "Media Server". The video data from the Media Server can be supplied to the STB. The Media Server and STB must in the same subnet.

For example, the media server's IP address is 192.168.0.200 and the STB is 192.168.0.100. You have assigned static IP address (rather than using DHCP) because the media server must have a fix IP address that does not change.

Step 1: Select the [B] Add New RTP Station

The URL would be:

Channel 1: rtp://239.0.0.2:1234

Channel 2: rtp://239.0.0.3:1234

Step 2: Setup the Media Server, and install the software from the supplied CD-ROM. Please click on the "StartServer".

LPCM / RAW Mode

LPCM mode means decode audio then down-mix to 2 CH output.

RAW mode means no audio decoding, just by pass through to amplifier for audio decoding.

AUDIO SETUP-"Night Mode" (aka Dynamic Range Control)

When the Night Mode is enabled the sound level of compatible audio soundtracks will be dynamically compressed. Dynamic range control (DRC) increases low-level audio content (such as the dialog in the movies),

making it easier to be heard at low volume levels while reducing the intensity of higher-level audio content at the same time.

"When you're listening to movie dialogue late at night and have to turn down the volume during loud scenes, the dynamic range suffers and you may miss some dialogue and other sounds. With the Night Mode on, you can reduce the volume but still enjoy proper tonal balance and dynamic range."
