your film, music and photo archives against hacker attacks and
viruses.
2.6 Network
If the Casablanca editor you are using is equipped with an
Ethernet connection, it is possible to access public folders
on a PC using a router . The protocol required for this is SMB .
You can use this feature to copy video, music or show photos
on your Casablanca editor or use the Universal Player to play
the data without copying the data to your system . To allow for
such a connection, you have to make some preparations . You
have to make the needed folders on your PC public, so that
the Casablanca can access them . Please read the documenta-
tion that came with your computer or operating system to find
out how to make folders public . When you enter the Network
menu on your Casablanca, the system will begin searching for
any public folders on your PC . When you enter the Network
menu on your Casablanca, the system will begin searching for
any public folders on your PC .
To make it easier to access the folders that are used to
communicate with the Casablanca, we recommend that you
choose folder names with the same prefix, for example let
the folders begin with ‘EP_’ . You can then set up the public
folder search filter to find these folders . When you search for
the starting combination “EP_”, you will only get these folders .
Confirm with OK to list all found video and audio folders . The
contents of subfolders of a folder will also be listed . The folder
structure itself is not shown . Pictures are also not shown di-
rectly . Switch to the photo archive to access the images . You
can show the files either by pressing Play, or you can press the
Record button to import the files to the Media Manager . You
can import both video and audio data at the same time . The
Casablanca will copy the files to the correct archives . The net-
work is not capable of recognizing the file lengths and hence
shows ‘unknown’ . However, as soon as you play the file, the
length is shown . The quality of playback depends very much
on the speed of your network, data rate of the file, resolution
and complexity . In some cases, the playback may not be fully
fluid . In that case, import the film to your Casablanca to play it
directly from the hard-drive . Pictures can be imported from the
photo archive . Enter the Import section and choose the Net-
work source . In the Import menu, you can select the images
to be copied to your archive . You can improve the network
overview by organizing audio, video and photo on your PC .
