The Plaster Networks powerline networking solution provides a quick, convenient way to connect a digital media adapter to your home network for playing digital mediafiles on your television (including photos, audio, and video).
The powerline network provides a reliable, high performance connection between the DMA and a media server or other storage device in your home. Plaster Networks provides an alternative to using a WiFi connection that may be subject to jitter or other interference.
What is a digital media adapter? A digital media adapter (DMA) is a network device that allows you to access digital media content through your television. The content can include photos, audio (such as MP3 files), and video (both standard-definition and high-definition). The media adapter commonly attaches to your television through an HDMI or component video connection. The adapter also includes an Ethernet port for connecting to the home network. Over the network, the DMA accesses media files from a separate server or storage device. In many cases, the DMA can also access content from over the Internet through popular sites such as Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube.
