The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) has announced new ‘interopability guidelines’ for streaming HD video content.
Support for DLNA allows various devices such as TVs, Blu-ray players and games consoles, including the PlayStation 3, to stream video content from DLNA-enabled devices such as PCs and NAS drives, over a Wi-Fi network.
The updated certification plans to set a common standard allowing premium content to be delivered across DLNA devices.
DLNA has over 200 member companies including LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and Sony, and US content providers including Time Warner Cable.
Nidhish Parikh, chairman and president of DLNA, said: "The release of these Interoperability Guidelines is the first step in what is a key global strategic objective for DLNA over the next year.”
