What is BS IEC 62481-5 - DLNA home networked device interoperability about?
BS IEC 62481-5 discusses digital living network alliance (DLNA) home networked device interoperability. BS IEC 62481-5, the DLNA guidelines, specifies guidelines that define various DLNA Device Profiles. A Device Profile is a collection of DLNA capabilities and features within a DLNA device. A device is compliant with a Device Profile when it conforms to all the guidelines listed for that Device Profile.
In practice, Device Profiles reference existing optional or recommended DLNA guidelines that enable certain features and make those DLNA guidelines mandatory within the context of a Device Profile. A Device Profile can also provide some additional guidelines that complement or modify existing DLNA guidelines for a feature.
Who is BS IEC 62481-5 - DLNA home networked device interoperability for?
BS IEC 62481-5 on DLNA home networked device interoperability is useful for:
- Smart home device manufacturers
- Developers of smart home device
Why should you use BS IEC 62481-5 - DLNA home networked device interoperability?
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 cater to this need, 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 62481-5 serves that purpose and provides vendors with the information needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home. BS IEC 62481-5 defines the usage guidance for the DTCP-IP DLNA DIS technology. For convenience, the term "DTCP-IP DIS" is used to mean the DTCP-IP technology for a DLNA DIS.
