Serve your media right

You love your media, so treat it well. The Media Hub makes it easy to organize, access, and share your digital video, photos, and music—around your home and around the world (fees may apply1). With massive capacity, intelligent aggregation, and media optimized fileserving capabilities, it’s an ideal way to manage your material, enjoy your entertainment and share your memories. Show your media how much you love it—give it a Hub.

Media Central

Conveniently access and stream your media from a versatile, high-performance storage hub. Multi-stream capability lets you enjoy different media at the same time: watch a movie while your kids listen to music and your spouse browses photos. Elegant Web-based interface makes it simple to browse your media. Intelligent aggregation automatically finds, copies and organizes media from all the UPnP devices on your network—even collecting songs from the same CD stored in different places into one virtual album.

Media World

Enjoy your media anywhere in the world. Easily configure the Hub to share or accept video, photos, and music via the Internet. Elegant web-based interface makes browsing and organizing your media a snap, from home or away. Watch a movie on the go; DJ at a friend’s party with your music from home. Upload vacation snapshots for your friends to view, while still on vacation—free your media to be where you want it.

Media Massive

Within its stylish, compact design, the hub’s high-capacity can store hundreds of hours of video, hundreds of thousands of photos and songs. With a built-in 500 Gigabyte hard drive and additional drive bay (NMH305), the Hub is set to grow along with your media collection (note: NMH300 includes 2 drive bays only).
