Media storage

Audio and video files can be stored on one or more of the following devices:

• Home Controller disk space—Home controllers with disk space can host audio and video content. Note: Dealers must provide their own backup solution or use a NAS with mirror/recovery capabilities.
• USB-attached storage—Both audio and video can be stored on these devices, although Control4 does not recommend doing so due to poor performance.
• Network-attached storage (Samba-mounted)—Control4 recommends this solution for audio and video files due to better performance and backup/recovery capabilities.

As with previous releases, all media storage devices must be added and configured in the Composer Pro project. Composer Pro does not automatically discover new media storage devices. The storage locations are not available in the Navigators until the device is scanned.
