HDX-SSD Hard Disk Player Overview
1.1 HDX-SSD User Interfaces
Unlike a conventional item of hi-fi equipment, the HDX-
SSD can be operated in a number of different ways using
a variety of user interfaces. The user interface you use to
control your HDX-SSD will depend on the type of system in
which it is installed and the ancillary equipment available.
The following short paragraphs and table describe each
user interface.
1.1.1 The Front Panel Display Interface
The HDX-SSD is most conveniently operated via its Front
Panel Display Interface using either the front panel touch
screen or the remote handset.
Note: The Front Panel Display Interface can also be
configured to control any StreamNet compliant device
connected to the network.
1.1.2 The External Display Interface
The HDX-SSD can be operated via its External Display
Interface using the supplied remote handset (or a
keyboard and/or mouse), in combination with an
additional external display screen. The screen may be a
monitor or TV with composite video, S-video or VGA input.
The External Display Interface is closely related to the Front
Panel Display Interface and similarly provides access to
HDX-SSD operational and setup features.
1.1.3 The NaimNet/StreamNet Touch Screen Interface
If the HDX-SSD is installed in a NaimNet home network,
HDX-SSD network audio streams can be controlled
from the NaimNet/StreamNet Interface. The NaimNet/
StreamNet Interface can be accessed from a StreamNet
compliant touch screen or a web browser. The interface
can also control any StreamNet compliant device.
Note: The NaimNet/StreamNet Interface is not covered in
this manual.
1.1.4 The Web Browser Interface
If the HDX-SSD is installed in a home network the External
Display and Front Panel Display interfaces can be
duplicated by any Flash enabled web browser
To access the External Display Interface from a web
browser, open the web browser and type the unique
“name” of your HDX-SSD into the browser address field.
The name is the last four characters of the MAC address
(excluding the colon separators) printed on the rear
panel preceded by NSHDX). A typical “name” would be
NSHDX4567.
To access the Front Panel Display interface from a web
browser add the suffix:
/index.html?movie=fp.swf to the HDX-SSD name.
E.g. NSHDX89B5/index.html?movie=fp.swf
Note: Depending on your web browser you may need to
type “http://” immediately before the HDX-SSD name.
1.1.5 The Desktop Client
If the HDX-SSD is installed in a home network that includes
a personal computer running Windows XP, Vista or 7, it can
be operated via the
Desktop Client Interface . The Desktop
Client application provides comprehensive operational,
search and background functionality. The Desktop Client is
covered in a separate manual that can be downloaded
from the Naim Audio web site at www.naimaudio.com
.
1.1.6 n-Serve for Mac OS X
If the HDX-SSD is installed in a home network that includes a
personal computer running Mac OS X Version 10.7 or above,
it can be operated using the
n-Serve OS X application
available for download from the Mac App Store. n-Serve
for OS X provides comprehensive operational, search and
background functionality.
1.1.7 n-Serve for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch
The n-Serve iOS app, available from the iTunes App Store,
enables wireless touch screen control of HDX-SSD from an
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
