Media Shortcut enables you to view both previews and live video directly from the CMVR
to your computer if you are on the same local network resulting in both previews and
live video loading faster. Previews are shown at up to 8 frames per second giving the 
user a much better experience. 

  Other features and metadata must still come from the cloud; this includes any analytics
   and history browser timeline information (notification indicators, motion regions, ETC).

    Media Shortcut will work with both bridges and CMVRs, but the footage does need to be
      local on the device.   If the footage has already uploaded to the cloud, then this 
      could reduce the functionality of Media Shortcut

How to enable media shortcuts:
