This product has been discontinued.
The Digital Distribution Center (DDC) is the core device on the Leviton Entertainment and Applications Platform (LEAP) and lets you view or listen to virtually anything that can be stored in a PC on any entertainment system in your home. Combining the functions of digital photo archive, digital music jukebox and digital video server, the DDC allows homeowners to easily organize, access, control and enjoy digital photos, music and video – from any number of sources – in any outfitted room in the home.

The DDC can easily store and distribute up to 120,000 1MB photos, or up to 24,000 5MB songs, or up to 120 1GB, 2 hour MPEG4 videos or any combination thereof.
The unique modular design of the Digital Distribution Center allows it to be placed where it should be: in a wired home’s Structured Media™ Center. From there, it can communicate with one or more Digital Players over the home’s networking infrastructure using a standard Ethernet (Cat 5/5e) connection. The Digital Distribution Center distributes the homeowner’s digital content (which is uploaded to it via a PC on the network), while the Digital Player simply decodes that content and sends it to a TV, stereo or other audio/video component. A Remote Control for the Digital Player provides navigation via easy–to–use on–screen menus on a TV, allowing users to browse, play or view their entire collection of music, video and photography.
On the networking side, the Digital Distribution Center can function as a multi–port switch to conveniently network PCs and other equipment throughout the home. It also can operate as an Internet–sharing residential gateway with commercial–grade firewall protection and act as a network–attached storage device.
The Digital Distribution Center’s modular design also permits it to operate as an upgradeable platform for future entertainment, home automation, communications and security applications.
