 Device profiles contain all the configuration settings that Mezzmo needs to know in order to stream music, videos, photos and subtitles to your user account. They have been created by Conceiva software engineers after testing the device with Mezzmo. Each device profile contains the audio, video, and image formats that the device supports. Mezzmo uses these settings to transcode incompatible files to a suitable format so that you can stream practically any type of media file to the device.
