Install MediaCentral

Getting Started

Before you turn your Mac into a media center, MediaCentral
must be installed on your hard drive. Additional third party
software, like Real Player and Windows Media Support (both
available for free) will also need to be installed in order to take
full advantage of what MediaCentral has to offer.

Install MediaCentral

If you bought the retail version of MediaCentral:
‣ Insert the MediaCentral CD into your computer
‣ Double click the MediaCentral CD icon that appears on your

desktop.

‣ Double click “Install MediaCentral” and follow the onscreen

instructions.

If you downloaded MediaCentral from equinux.com:
‣ Double click the downloaded dmg file.
‣ Double click “Install MediaCentral” and follow the onscreen

instructions.

Install Real Player (Needed for IP TV Feature)

MediaCentral‘s own video core supports a lot of digital video
formats. For support of Real Streams, you will need to install
Real Player, a free application that can be downloaded from
the Internet.

To install the Real Player, complete the following steps:
‣ Go to:

http://www.equinux.com/Go to/mediacentral/

getrealplayer

‣ After downloading , drag the Application “Real Player” to your

Applications folder
