The ADMS Intermedia Delivery System™ transforms the way you experience all of today's vast and varied media, from TV programs and movies to home videos, music, and the Internet. The ADMS lets you effortlessly find and enjoy the content you want, whether it exists on a local hard drive or network share, an online store or the World Wide Web. As the centerpiece of your Crestron® home entertainment system, the ADMS replaces the disc players, media servers, HTPCs and set-top boxes that you used to need, providing one elegant, integrated solution for accessing all your high-definition movies, music, Internet TV, home videos, photos, and Web-based content.

Not a Media Server — A New Standard in Media Delivery
In today's unruly world of multimedia options, with its mind-boggling array of media formats, software applications, set-top boxes, and proprietary user interfaces, the ADMS brings together all the fragments into one cohesive user experience called Intermedia Delivery™.

Giving you the power to acquire and manage virtually any content you desire is what Intermedia Delivery is all about. The ADMS provides a streamlined solution for storing and playing all your digital videos, music, photos and home movies. It also delivers a seamless online experience, letting you rent major motion pictures from Netflix®, stream videos from YouTube® and Vimeo®, and watch your favorite news, sports, and TV shows through Hulu® and Hulu Plus^[1], Metacafe®, Comedy Central®, ESPN®, CNN®, and numerous other top providers. Built-in Web browsing completes the experience, giving you full access to all that the Internet has to offer without leaving the comfort of your home theater or living room sofa.

The World is Your Server™
It's an online world, and the ADMS's exclusive WorldSearch® feature gives you the power to conquer it. Simply enter a title, actor, or any other subject and you're instantly gratified with an organized list of relevant content including full-length feature films and TV shows, clips and trailers, outtakes and interviews, song tracks, and Websites. WorldSearch combs the entire media library on your ADMS and other network drives, along with a plethora of online resources. With WorldSearch, you don't need to know where to look — you only need to know what you want.

Whether you just want to find a specific TV episode or viral video, or explore everything there is to know about a certain sports figure or the making of the latest blockbuster movie, WorldSearch finds you exactly what you want — plus a wealth of other media of interest to enhance your enjoyment and expand your knowledge. WorldSearch lets you manage where to look and how to sort the results, listing everything clearly in a stylish onscreen menu with detailed information accompanied by a screen grab image or cover artwork.

Browsing through your movies is fun and easy, viewing high-res cover art, movie synopses and cast information for each title, with the ability to search by title, actor, director, genre, and other criteria.

Music Access to the Max
The ADMS isn't just for home theater — it is also an audiophile grade music server for your whole house. Imagine having your entire music collection hosted on one intelligent device, with the ability to play any track, album, or playlist in seconds using the onscreen display or touch screens throughout the home^[3]. The ADMS supports a wide range of lossless and compressed audio file formats including Windows Media®, iTunes Plus®, MP3 and FLAC, with enhanced support for cover art and metadata. Its three independent audio outputs afford seamless integration with the Sonnex™ Multiroom Audio System^[3,4], allowing listeners in different rooms to each enjoy their own playlists and podcasts.

A Photo Album for the New Age
What better place to view your family photos and home movies than on your high-definition video screen? ADMS provides an ideal asset for storing and displaying all your personal media files, offering the ability to organize your photos and videos into album folders, edit metadata for each file, and display them individually or as a stylized slideshow. The ADMS is compatible with a complete range of standard and high-definition file formats from digital cameras, camcorders, and mobile phones.

The Whole Internet on your HDTV
Why leave the comfort of your theater or living room when the ADMS gives you full access to the Internet right on your HDTV? All your favorite Websites are accessible through the ADMS's integrated Web browser, letting you look up sports stats, check your online auctions, even sign on to Twitter® or Facebook® right from your favorite chair. Developed to provide an optimal full-screen HD experience, the ADMS browser is also secure and safe from malicious viruses and spyware so you can surf the Internet without fear of corrupting the system or losing your precious data.

I Sync, Therefore I Am Easy To Use
Managing the music, video, photo, and home movie files on your ADMS couldn't be simpler thanks to ADMS Connect® software. ADMS Connect continuously monitors the media folders on your Windows® PC or Mac® computer (or network drive) and copies new files to the ADMS media library automatically as they're added. It can also be used to copy files manually. Using ADMS Connect, it's easy to keep your ADMS in sync with your computer whether you use iTunes®, Windows Media Player, or any other media application.

Blu-ray Disc® Player Option
The deluxe ADMS-BR model features a front-loaded Blu-ray Disc drive, allowing for instant playing of rented or borrowed video discs and compact discs. The ADMS-BR also provides a super simple solution for importing music CDs. Just place the CD in the front panel disc slot and the ADMS-BR quickly imports its contents into your digital music library complete with cover art and metadata. The ADMS-BR lets you define your preference of file format and quality level, supporting AAC, WAV, WMA, and WMA Lossless encoding.

Protected, Boundless Media Storage
The ADMS is designed to provide the most secure, reliable, and expandable home media solution available. It takes a lot of disc space to store any large media collection, and naturally you want to know that all that content is kept safe and secure. The ADMS provides nearly 1 terabyte of onboard storage, enough to handle approximately 45,000 songs in high-quality WMA Lossless format, or over 400 standard-definition movies. Onboard media is kept safe through RAID 1 technology utilizing dual redundant hard drives to maintain two copies of your data at all times.

Expanding the ADMS's media capacity is easy with the addition of one or more Crestron NAS (Network Attached Storage) units (model CEN-NAS-4TB^[4]). Each Crestron NAS comes pre-configured for use with the ADMS, providing four hot-swappable 1 TB drives with RAID 5 protection in a single rack space. The ADMS is also compatible with third-party NAS appliances, USB and IEEE 1394 external storage devices, and Windows Home Servers.^[5]

High-Definition Multimedia Interface®
Whatever your viewing pleasure, the ADMS employs premium graphics processing to enhance and scale everything for the best possible HD home theater experience. Its HDMI® theater output delivers up to 1080p60 HD video with Deep Color, and 7.1 linear PCM surround sound audio to your home theater. Through HDMI, the ADMS configures its output automatically to match the capabilities of your HDTV and audio receiver. Support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ensures trouble-free HD viewing of protected content and complete compatibility with today's AV components.

The ADMS also includes S/PDIF and 7.1 analog audio outputs for the theater zone, and a choice of S/PDIF or analog stereo audio outputs for each of the two multiroom zones.

Control Your Way
ADMS lets you choose how you control it, with numerous options available. Right out of the box, the ADMS's onscreen display is fully navigable using the optional wireless keyboard (KB-RFUSB^[4]). Easily browse the media library, play any movie or music playlist, peruse the Internet TV guide, find streaming videos with WorldSearch, and surf the Internet, all using one compact keyboard remote.

Of course, the ADMS affords seamless integration with your Crestron control system, unleashing a wide assortment of control options using Crestron handheld remotes and touch screens, or even mobile devices like the iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™. Its onscreen keyboard allows simple one-handed navigation using any Crestron remote. A wireless touch screen affords the ultimate in control, reproducing the ADMS onscreen experience within a beautiful color touch screen complete with cover art and metadata. Adding touch screens throughout the house enables full access to your entire media collection from any room. Even video can be distributed to HD displays in any room using a Crestron DigitalMedia™ system.^[3,4]

Integrated Home Control
The onscreen Crestron Home® user interface enables integrated control of lighting, climate, security, AV and other systems throughout the house, all through your HD display.^[3]

Ultimate Performance, Reliability & Support
The ADMS was engineered from top to bottom for high performance, cool-running operation and the smallest possible "acoustic footprint." Extensive volumetric and heat generation testing produced an innovative enclosure design that runs cool and quiet. New features and security updates are validated by Crestron and distributed automatically through your broadband connection to ensure continuous secure and reliable operation. The internal Crestron Watchdog constantly monitors the status of the ADMS, automatically resetting the system in the event of any problem. Remote access allows your Crestron dealer to assess any issues and restore proper functionality without ever going onsite.
