Air Video Server HD For Mac

Air Video Server HD is the desktop side of a system designed to enable you to playback media content stored on your computer on any iOS device connected to your network, or that has internet access.

To use the system, you need to have the Air Video HD iOS application installed on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad device. Note that Air Video Server HD is available free of charge, yet Air Video HD requires a commercial license.

Once the initial configuration is complete, Air Video Server HD can run in the background, without requiring user intervention. A simple status bar menulet lets you know if the server is running or not, and also provides quick access to the Preferences panel.

To get started, within the Air Video Server HD Preferences, you must point out the folders you want to share with the iOS devices. The same area enables you to see details about the server status.

If everything runs well, any audio or video file included in the shared folders can be played on the iOS devices connected to the server. All connected users and playback sessions can be monitored via the server status window.

Air Video Server HD also offers you the possibility to access the streaming server from the internet. To make this possible, the utility integrates automatic port mapping capabilities.

Moreover, Air Video Server HD can run in single or multi-user modes. In the first case, all you have to do to protect your data is set a server password.

On the other hand, when working with multiple users, when configuring the server you must manually create the accounts and add the credentials. Each account can have different permissions when it comes to the shared folders.

To conclude, Air Video Server HD is the desktop companion application that makes using the Air Video HD app on your iOS device possible.

The server provides access to media stored in user-selected directories, can stream the audio or video content over the internet, and includes privacy settings designed to protect your streaming server from unwanted access.
