Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a cross-industry organization of leading consumer electronics, computing industry and mobile device companies.

We share a vision of a wired and wireless network of interoperable consumer electronics (CE), personal computers (PC) and mobile devices in the home and on the road, enabling a seamless environment for sharing and growing new digital media and content services.

DLNA is focused on delivering interoperability guidelines based on open industry standards to complete the cross-industry digital convergence. 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. In the DLNA digital home, it will be common for consumers to:

• Easily acquire, store and access digital music from almost anywhere in the home
• Effortlessly manage, view, print and share digital photos
• Carry favorite content anywhere to enjoy while on the road
• Enjoy distributed, multi-user content recording and playback
