Certification and Guidelines

The design guidelines are our blueprint for the new digital home. Our member companies are using them to drive the growing marketplace of networked devices to greater innovation and increased value for consumers.

The DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines

DLNA has published a common set of industry design guidelines that allow manufacturers to participate in a growing marketplace of networked devices, leading to more innovation, simplicity and value for consumers. The DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines are use case driven and specify the interoperable building blocks that are available to build platforms and software infrastructure. These guidelines also focus on interoperability between the devices for personal media uses involving imaging, audio and video.

Design Guidelines

The DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines, expanded in October 2006, consists of three volumes covering Architecture & Protocols, Media Format Profiles and Link Protection. It provides vendors with the information needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital 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.
