Hp Mediasmart Server, free hp mediasmart server software downloads. This add-in updates the labels on the drives in the Storage tab of the Windows Home Server Console on the HP MediaSmart Server.The drive labels are updated as follows: Drives are correctly labeled as SATA rather than SCSI. I succeeded to install Mavericks on my HP MediaSmart EX490 and wanted to share my experience so that others can use it. I tried 2 times before I got it to work. I have an EX490 which I have changed the processor to an Intel Pentium E6500 core 2 duo, 2,93 Mghz + 2Go RAM, and 4 drives (2.1T and 2.2T).
The new software enables the HP MediaSmart Server to automatically convert videos (including unprotected DVDs) into two resolutions. The original, high-resolution file will stream to most devices on a home network including PCs, Macs and gaming systems.(2)
The mobile resolution version of the video can be downloaded and played on popular mobile devices including the iPod touch, iPhone and PlayStationPortable (PSP).
The video converter will transcode most popular video formats into both high and mobile quality MPEG-4 (H.264) versions.
“This new feature will help eliminate the frustration people experience when attempting to stream their videos to connected devices in the home or remotely to their mobile devices,” said Jason Zajac, vice president and general manager, Worldwide Attach Group, HP.
In addition, owners of an iPod touch and iPhone can download a new HP MediaSmart Server iStream application(3) at no charge from the iTunes App Store, enabling them to stay connected to their digital media stored on the MediaSmart Server. Users can easily access their pictures, listen to their music collection and watch their favorite videos – all streamed directly to their mobile devices from their HP MediaSmart Server.
Other software enhancements include an improved mobile streaming user experience, a more robust HP Media Collector, an improved Apple Time Machine configuration, and the ability to create public and private albums in the Photo Viewer.
The HP MediaSmart Server, designed for use with both Microsoft Windows®-based and Mac computers, automatically organizes files across PCs and streams media across a home network and the Internet.(4)
Based on the Microsoft Windows Home Server platform, the HP MediaSmart Server EX485/EX487 shipped to customers in January. Acting as the heart of the home network, the MediaSmart Server is a central repository for automatically backing up and accessing digital photos, music, videos and documents from multiple computers on a home network.(5)
Pricing and availability
The software update will be available at no charge later this month as an automatic download to the HP MediaSmart Server (EX485/EX487 models).
Manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the HP MediaSmart Server EX485 with 750 gigabytes of hard disk storage is $599; the HP MediaSmart Server EX487 with 1.5 terabytes is $749.(6)
