DEVICES #

What it does #

Within the DEVICES window, you control and monitor all of your nuplayer devices. Whenever a nuplayer device is discovered in the network, it shows up in this list. The discovery of devices is continuously and automatically. The “max devices” number in the upper right shows your current license scope. From here you also control the playback and audio settings for nuplayer.
