The rack-mountable SNP-1 Streaming Network Player outputs 44kHz streams of digital audio to DMS-1200 and DMS-100 amplifiers; analog outputs for third-party amplifiers are also included. The SNP-1 can stream music and photos from network-attached compatible PCs, Macs and network storage devices, satellite radio, and Internet-based services such as Rhapsody and Pandora. In a typical installation, each family member in a household will have his or her own designated SNP-1 in order to avoid usage conflicts and enjoy an individually personalized experience that plays all of his or her purchased music, no matter where that music resides on the network or in the home.

The SNP-1 can be controlled in full 2-way fashion by any URC network remote, touch screen or keypad; via its IR input, the SNP-1 is also compatible with traditional IR/RF URC remotes and base stations.

To prevent multiple audio streams from consuming excessive amounts of network bandwidth, URC also announces two network switches that provide MAC filtering: the MFS-8 and a Power over Ethernet (PoE) version, the MFSPOE-8. Both of these eight-port network switches also provide one LAN port, Activity and Status LEDs, and Connectivity indicators. The smart PoE ports on the MFSPOE-8 support devices like keypads and cameras, but also are compatible with non-PoE devices.
