What is BS IEC 62481-1-2 -Architecture and protocols - Extended Digital Media Renderer about?
The DLNA Guidelines Parts 1 to 3 introduce a number of device classes to identify specific roles that connected endpoints implement in the network. Devices can act as content sources (e.g., Digital Media Servers, Push Controllers), and as content sinks (Digital Media Renderers or Digital Media Players).
Having two types of content sinks has been a useful strategy to accelerate the initial deployment phase. However, many of the modern receiver devices now include both types. Consequently, there is a need to define a receiver device that combines both types.
BS IEC 62481-1-2 addresses this issue and, specifically, it describes a device class for an Extended Digital Media Renderer (XDMR) and implementation guidelines for combining a Digital Media Renderer and a UPnP Media Server Control Point.

Why should you use BS IEC 62481-1-2 - Architecture and protocols - Extended Digital Media Renderer?
Consumers are acquiring, viewing, and managing an increasing amount of digital media (photos, music, and video) on devices in the consumer electronics (CE), mobile, and personal computer (PC) domains. As such, they want to conveniently enjoy the content, regardless of the source, across different devices and locations in the home. The digital home vision integrates the Internet, mobile, and broadcast networks through a seamless, interoperable network, which will provide a unique opportunity for manufacturers and consumers alike.
In order to deliver on this vision, a common set of industry design guidelines is needed that allows vendors to participate in a growing marketplace, leading to more innovation, simplicity, and value for consumers. BS IEC 62481-1-2 serves that purpose and provides vendors with the information needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home.
