Audio Output – Choose this option to configure which audio output port to use. Select
from Analog (stereo L+R), S/PDIF (optical), or HDMI.
Firmware Update – Use this option to check for a firmware update for the HD Media
Extender. If an update is available, you will be asked whether to download it and update
your extender now. IMPORTANT! The screen may flash while the update is being
installed. This is normal. *** DO NOT TURN THE EXTENDER OFF WHILE A
FIRMWARE UPDATE IS IN PROGRESS. ***
Edit Server List – Use this option to add remote servers that the extender can connect to.
The STX-HD100 HD Media Extender can be used as a Placeshifter client when
connecting to a remote SageTV server from this list. The servers added here will be
displayed on the Servers menu, along with any servers discovered on the local network.
Auto Connect to Server – When checked, this will cause the extender to automatically
connect to the last server it was connected to the next time it is powered on. (It will go to
the Servers menu, then automatically connect after a few-second timeout period.)
Save Settings – Saves the current settings.
Exit Settings – Return to the Servers menu.
Supported Media Types
The following media types can be played natively by the HD Media Extender:
File Formats: AVI, ASF, MPEG, MKV, QuickTime, MP4
Video Codecs: MPEG-1/2, MPEG-4 ASP, H.264, WMV9
Audio Codecs: MPEG Audio, AAC, AC3, WMA, FLAC
In addition to the native support for the formats listed above, SageTV will attempt to transcode
other media formats to a type that the extender can play. Transcoding may not be available for all
possible media formats.
Notes:
DVD: The HD Media Extender is not capable of decoding encrypted DVD content, so it can not
be used for DVD-ROM viewing. But, non-encrypted DVD images imported into the video
library (home-made DVDs, for example) can be played back on the extender with full use of the
DVD’s menus.
Pictures: Any image format that the SageTV server can load will be viewable on the extender.
