Streaming Media from your PC to your HP

Smart Wi-Fi Display

Your HP Smart Wi-Fi Display can play the media files (photos, music, and video)

stored on your PC or network attached storage device. The HP Smart Wi-Fi Display

uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) A/V streaming protocol to automatically find

your PCs and servers, and will coordinate the streaming process between your PC/

server and the HP Smart Wi-Fi Display.

Media streaming on your home network requires four conditions:

• Your must have a PC or network attached storage device that provides a

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) A/V media server. For example, a Windows PC

running Windows Media Player 11, or an HP MediaSmart Server will provide

this media server functionality.

• Only media files are available for media streaming. The types of files that are

considered "media" are: photographs, music (audio), and video. Non-media

files, such as Microsoft Word documents, are not available for streaming.

• The media files stored on the PC or server must be of a type supported by the HP

Smart Wi-Fi Display.

Note: For the types of media files that are supported by the HP Smart Wi-Fi

Display, see “Specifications” on page 42

• The UPnP A/V streaming method supports streaming of unprotected media files.

Some files may be protected by a Digital Rights Management system, which may

prevent the streaming of those files. Media files purchased and downloaded from

an online Internet store are most likely protected.

Enabling Windows Media Player 11 UPnP

Note: The following section applies to Windows Media Player version 11.

Windows Media Player 11 is bundled with Microsoft Windows Vista and is also

available as a Microsoft Windows XP update.

The HP Smart Wi-Fi Display supports media streaming from a PC on the same home

network with Windows Media Player 11 installed. Once you have installed

Windows Media Player 11 on the PC, you need to have media (photos, music,

video) in the library. You then need to configure Windows Media Player 11 to share

media from the Tools/Options menu as described in the following screens.
