What is DMA
DMA or Digital Media Adapters enable a wired or wireless connection
between your computers, TVs, and stereo systems. DMA technology
lets you stream digital audio, images, and video across your home
network to computers, TVs, and stereo systems throughout the home.
This streaming process is facilitated by the use of a software or
hardware DMA.
Digital content taken from digital cameras, camcorders, TVs, HDTVs,
and the Internet are stored in a Home Media Server. The content is then
streamed across the home network to hardware DMAs that are
connected to your TVs throughout the home. You can also stream
digital content to computers connected to your home network via a
software DMA such as CyberLink SoftDMA.
The entire process is easy to setup and simple to use. Once installed you
can just sit back and enjoy your entire digital content from anywhere in
your house. DMA technology is truly a brilliant way to distribute digital
content throughout your home. With the help of DMA technology you
can easily access videos, movies, music, pictures and TV programs at
anytime, from anyplace in your home.
Note: CyberLInk SoftDMA software needs to be installed on the client only.
