DLNA Interoperability Guidelines
DLNA published its first set of Interoperability Guidelines in June 2004 and the first set of DLNA Certified™ products began appearing in market soon thereafter.
The latest version of the DLNA Interoperability Guidelines, version 1.5, was published in March 2006, and then expanded in October 2006. These guidelines enlarge the capabilities of a DLNA-defined network to include more home and mobile devices. They also include the specifications for link protection to allow secure transmission of copyright-protected commercial digital content.
DLNA Certification Program
This program was designed to test DLNA members' products to help ensure interoperability by verifying the proper implementations of the DLNA guidelines. |
