Chapter 2: Getting Started

Overview

The Media Hub is designed to store your media content in
one location for convenient access. (There are additional
ways to use the Media Hub; refer to Chapter 3: Ways to
Use the Media Hub, page 14.)
The Media Hub offers three ways to help you copy files
to the Media Hub. This chapter describes how to use
the Media Importer, NTI Shadow (Windows only), and
the Copy-and-Paste feature. (FTP is another option for
copying files.)
You can copy media files from a computer or other
network device. You can also copy media files from a USB
storage device or memory card directly connected to the
Media Hub.
NOTE: Only the Media Hub with LCD (NMH400
Series) supports direct connection of memory
cards.

Media Importer

The Media Importer is the import tool that was
automatically installed by the Setup Wizard. It supports
most popular formats, such as mp3, jpg, and mpg files.
Use the Media Importer to automatically find, copy, and
update media files to the Media Hub. In the future, any
changes made or new files added will be automatically
updated on the Media Hub.
Files using the following file formats and extensions are
imported:
Music
• .mp3, .wma, .m4a, .aac, .lpcm, .ogg, .flac, .ac3,
