OverviewThe Russound Smart Media Server is
an intelligent audio source that plays music stored on its hard drive and Internet
radio in three independent output streams. Through a multiroom audio system, it
can play the same or different selections in different rooms at the same time.
Performance Features
The Smart Media Server comes with either a 160 GB or a 250 GB hard drive. The
SMS3 will hold up to 2650 hours of compressed music and the SMS3-250 will store
up to 4140 hours for nearly endless enjoyment of your favorite music. You can load
music from your CDs into the Media Server through a built-in CD-ROM reader or transfer
music files from your computer.
With the Media Server connected to the Internet, you can even enjoy Internet
radio throughout your home. The SMS3 also stores and organizes digital photos, which
you can show on your TV individually or as slide shows
Design Features
Using easy-to-navigate screens on
your TV or computer, you can then organize the songs into themes by genre or artist
for random playback or create playlists to play them back in any order you want. As
you use the Media Server, its unique Personal Media Assistant learns your music
preferences for each theme and applies those preferences to its automated song
selection.As an ideal music source for a Russound RNET® system, the Media
Server can be controlled from the system’s UNO keypads or touchscreens, which display
theme, artist, and song title information. It can also be controlled by IR remote
control, from a computer, or through an RS- 232 serial port.
