The server is for you to select the video/audio folder that you would like to stream. It allows you to both choose the files from hard disk and add iTunes playlist for streaming. On the server, you can set the access permission and PIN protection for different needs. Meanwhile, you can also find the IP address of the server computer by clicking “Information” tab. The built-in HTTP server lets you access the videos/music stored on your computer via any web browser, just click the “Web” tab and you can see the IP address of your PC/Mac, and then you can get the shared media more freely over Internet.

The client application can get the streaming data from the server. Since Air Playit is packed with 320 different video/audio codecs to convert media file in any format on the fly, users can play the video/audio in real time, no matter the video is MKV, M2TS, AVCHD, MOD, AVI, WMV, or FLV etc.
