Network Systems Supported by DLNA Media Devices (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

The Windows Embedded Compact 7 platform UPnP™ stack, combined with HTTP and DirectShow modules, provides an implementation of DLNA 1.5 guidelines for the DMC, DMR, and DMP device classes by providing APIs for implementing these devices. The APIs provide a DLNA 1.5 implementation that is compatible with the following categories outlined by the DLNA guidelines:

• Device Discovery and Control
  The Device and Service Discovery and Control DLNA Home Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines provide rules for the following:
  • Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP)
  • General Event Notification Architecture (GENA) events
  • Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) actions
  • HTTP transport protocols for device discovery
  • Control for UPnP communications using the UPnP device architecture
    The UPnP Control Point API and UPnP Device Host API implementations address these guidelines. The HTTP guidelines apply to UPnP-related transactions only, not to content transfer transactions.
• Media Management
  The Media Management DLNA Home Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines provide rules for implementing media management by using the UPnP AV architecture. The UPnP AV Framework implementation addresses these guidelines.
• Media Transport and Media Format Profiles
  The Media Transport DLNA Home Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines cover the Transfer mode and Transfer rate of the media stream, which are referred to together as the media transport layer. The HTTP and DirectShow modules implement these guidelines. The Media Format Guidelines cover requirements for the types of media content that can be exposed and streamed to the network with specific decoding support.

To learn more about the DLNA 1.5 guidelines for various device classes, visit the Members Area section on the www.dlna.org website.

The following section lists the device profiles used to test the platform for adherence to the DLNA 1.5 guidelines for DMC, DMR, and DMP device classes. These device profiles are part of the test procedures defined by the DLNA Conformance Test Tool (CTT). For more information about the CTT, see Device Profiles That Conform with DLN 1.5.
