Preface

Sun MediaCenter One Software Guide tells you how to use two pieces of an end-to-end video "solution":

Sun^(TM) MediaCenter^(TM) One
Software that enables your Sun machine to act as a video server.
Sun MediaCenter Java^(TM) Client for Sun
Software that enables you to decode and display video received from a Sun MediaCenter server on a Sun workstation.

This guide presumes that you are familiar with entering commands in a UNIX^{^(R)} shell and with the use of a web browser. You need not have any knowledge of digital video.
