DLNA Protocol Stacks and Applications
This DLNA-related line of product consists in:
- A Network Media Player: an end-user application with a Flash- or Web-based user interface that allows for browsing through and rendering of local (e.g. over USB) and remote (i.e. over DLNA) multimedia content
- A Multimedia Manager: the multimedia engine responsible for the discovery and rendering of multimedia contents
- A full-fledged implementation of the DLNA protocol for Digital Media Server (DMS), Player (DMP), Renderer (DMR), and Controller (DMC) device classes, based on customized UPnP open source software (libupnp)
The DLNA-related products are available for both Linux and Android.
