digital media server
A device that stores and serves digital multimedia content to a stereo system or home theater. Residing in the same cabinet as the A/V equipment, it plugs into the A/V inputs of the receiver and connects to the home network via wired or wireless Ethernet. It includes a hard disk to hold music and images, and possibly videos. Media servers can often control external CD and DVD jukebox/changers, providing central management of all content whether on hard disk, CD or DVD.
