What is the Digital Living Network Alliance? - The DLNA Certification and Logo Program: (a) ensures that all relevant mandatory formats and features are supported by the products, and (b) confirms interoperability between devices in support of mandatory formats and features. DLNA Certified is a trademark of the Digital Living Network Alliance. - What are the digital home and digital living? - The digital home is an evolution of the idea that PCs, consumer electronics and mobile devices should work together through a wired or wireless network to share digital content within a home environment. Digital living extends that idea to include sharing content on the go as well. - How will I benefit from digital living? - The goal of digital living is to provide you with an immediate connection between your digital devices, regardless of the manufacturer. You will finally enjoy the freedom to access, play and share your favorite movies, music and photos at home and on the go using products from your most trusted brands. - What does the future of digital living look like? - Over time, as new technology and standards become available, the DLNA® Interoperability Guidelines will likely broaden to cover other usage areas such as home control, network communications and more advanced entertainment services. With regard to specific product types, the guidelines have already been expanded to include mobile and handheld devices and printers. - What is the foundation for networking and interoperability in the digital home? - The IP family of protocols has been selected as the means to provide the foundation for the networking and connectivity of CE, mobile devices and PCs in the digital home. IP is also the basic means for establishing communications among all devices on the Internet. How will my digital content be managed, distributed and controlled in the digital home? - Content management and control will enable devices and applications to identify, manage and distribute content across your home network. UPnP Audio/Video (AV) technology addresses all of these needs and is the content management and control solution for products based on DLNA guidelines. Will DLNA address digital rights management? - Digital rights management (DRM) is an important issue that must be addressed to achieve the ideal user experience sought by DLNA members. One of DLNA's goals is to incorporate an industry-accepted DRM solution into the Interoperability Guidelines to enable commercial content flow within the home network. To that end, DLNA will assess various rights management systems being considered by the marketplace. -
