request a TCP/IP address from the network router. Because the IP address is issued by the
router (or “leased” by the computer), it may change at any time.
Digital Distribution Network - One of three possible audio/visual distribution methods supported
by Phoenix, the other two being broadband or RF and baseband. If a facility employs a digital
distribution network then the audio/video signals from the head end are viewed using some sort
of decoding application, typically Windows Media Player.

a set-top device that controls the power, volume, and tuning of the display device (projector,
plasma screen, television, etc).

Format – The medium on which a media copy is stored. Examples of a format would be DVD,
VHS, Canopus MediaEdge2, Enseo Alchemy Digital, etc. Phoenix uses the format to determine
which titles are supported by the various sources. The format is also used to determine which
capabilities should be made available when controlling the sources with the handheld remote
control, the web client, or the Client32 application.

since Phoenix communicates via TCP/IP. It is also commonly referred to as the Media Center.
