Streaming from HDX to another room
Posted by: Et in Arcadia on 29 April 2009
I have an HDX located in the living room. We are having the kitchen extended and refitted and I see this as a opportunity to use the HDX to stream music to the kitchen
The blurb for the HDX says:
"HDX is also IP-enabled and will connect to your home network to form the heart of a multi-room set up, allowing access to your HDX-stored music throughout your home."
The question is, therefore, on the assumption that I put a Uniti in the kitchen, what HW and SW do I need in between the two in order to access the music on the HDX and control the data stream. I can see that I could use the browser or desk top client to set the HDX to play or stop; but that is hardwired to the living room set up. How do I set it up and control it to send a data stream to a remote unit? I am planning to have Cat5 cabling installed as part of the new build.
Any information or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
