Video Server Systems

What are Video Server Systems?

Video servers are scalable digital multi media storage devices. They vary in size and specification, storing extensive home DVD video collections all in one place and distribute film to plasma/LCD screens, projector screens and custom surround sound speaker systems included in home cinema installations or single or multi-room arrangements.

What are the benefits of Video Server Systems?

A video server system lets you sit in your sitting room to watch a film with your partner, safe in the knowledge you won’t be disturbed by the kids because they’re watching a family-friendly movie in the games room. That’s multi room tv / video, the essence of automating a smart home. The best video servers can store and distribute different films from your digital movie collection simultaneously to two, three, seven or more rooms.

Video Servers let you copy every DVD in your home to the integral hard drive. The range of video servers we supply will hold anything from 75 DVDs to over 1,800. That frees up a lot of storage space around the home and you’ll never have the hassle of DVDs being put back in the wrong cases again.

Some of our premium video server suppliers manufacture media servers with up to 6Tb (one Terabyte is equal to 125 gigabytes) of storage and they can be connected to your PC or Mac computer. With a video server controlling your multi-room video you can stream YouTube or films downloaded through iTunes as easily as slotting a DVD into your existing player.
