What is BS IEC 62481‑1‑1 - DLNA home networked device interoperability about?
BS IEC 62481‑1‑1 discusses digital living network alliance (DLNA) home networked device interoperability. BS IEC 62481‑1‑1, the DLNA guidelines series, specifies the core architecture and protocols of DLNA implementations. The interoperability guidelines consist of five parts covering Architecture and Protocols, Media Formats, Link Protection, DRM Interoperability Systems, and Device Profiles.
BS IEC 62481‑1‑1 provides vendors with the information needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home. The necessary standards and technologies are now available to enable products to be built for networked entertainment-centric usages. However, standards and technologies need to be clarified and options limited to ensure interoperability. The five parts of the DLNA Home Networked Device interoperability guidelines fulfill that role.
Who is BS IEC 62481‑1‑1 - DLNA home networked device interoperability for?
BS IEC 62481‑1‑1 on DLNA home networked device interoperability is useful for:
- Smart home device manufacturers
- Developers of smart home device
Why should you use BS IEC 62481‑1‑1- DLNA home networked device interoperability?
Consumers are acquiring, viewing, and managing an increasing amount of digital media (photos, music, and video) on devices in the consumer electronics (CE), mobile device, and personal computer (PC) domains. Consumers want to conveniently enjoy that content, regardless of the source, across different devices and locations in their homes.
BS IEC 62481‑1‑1 provides guidelines for product developers with a long-term architectural view, plus specific guidance for IP-networked platforms, devices, and applications in the home. The interoperability guidelines will be introduced in phases over several years to accompany the market adoption of usages and the availability of needed technology and standards.
The interoperability guidelines that are the object of BS IEC 62481‑1‑1 are based on an architecture that defines interoperable components for devices and software infrastructure. It covers physical media, network transports, device discovery and control, media management and control, media formats, media transport protocols, and remote user interfaces.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS IEC 62481‑1‑1:2017 supersedes IEC 62481-1:2013, which is withdrawn. BS IEC 62481‑1‑1:2017 includes some technical changes with respect to IEC 62481-1:2013.
These include:
- Removal of Bluetooth, printers (DMPr, +PR1+, and +PR2+), Mobile Digital Media Uploader (M-DMU), Mobile Digital Media Downloader (M-DMD), Mobile Network Connectivity Function (M NCF), and Media Interoperability Unit (MIU)
- Removal of CEA2014 guidelines (RUISRC, RUISINK, RUICTRL, RUIPL)
- Addition of IPv6
- Heading levels adjusted to be no deeper that heading level 5
