media server

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

(1) A computer system in an IP telephony network that transmits dial tones, busy signals and announcements such as "the number you have called is no longer in service." The media server can be a separate unit or part of a softswitch (media gateway controller). See IP telephony.

(2) Software that makes audio and video files residing in the computer available to users and media hubs on the network. For discovering media files on the network, media servers typically use the Bonjour or UPnP protocols. For sharing the files and playlists, they use the DAAP or Windows Media Connect protocols. For example, iTunes uses Bonjour and DAAP, while Windows Media Player uses UPnP and Windows Media Connect. See DAAP, UPnP, Bonjour, Windows Media Connect, Firefly, digital media hub and digital media server.

(3) A computer system or specialized device that stores digital music, images and videos for listening and viewing on a stereo or home theater system. See digital media server and Media Center Edition.

(4) A computer system in a network that is used to transmit audio and/or video data.
