What are servers and clients?


VAIO Media is a home networking application that allows you to enjoy media stored on other computers across your network. The computer containing this media is called a server. The computer using VAIO Media to access content from a server is called a client.
The television function may not be available in some countries or regions.


Hint
Even with only one computer (the computer acts as server and client), you can still enjoy your favorite media.
Content Collection
VAIO Media servers include a special server known as "Content Collection."
Content Collection collects and maintains information on the content of other server devices within the home network. Therefore, you can search for content without having to worry about which server it is on when there are multiple servers on the home network.
The use of Content Collection is limited to computers with Content Collection (VAIO Media Content Collection) preinstalled.


Hint
In addition to Content Collection, there are ordinary VAIO Media servers known as "VAIO Media Integrated Server." For details on the functions of these VAIO Media servers, refer to the Help of VAIO Media Server Settings.
