DLNA : A Technology that replaced HDMI to some extent

By

DLNA is an Alliance formed by group of Companies including Intel, Sony , Microsoft , Consumer Electronics companies with an aim to simplify communication between different networked devices like smart phones , tablets , smart TV , Cameras , Printers , Network attached storage servers , computers , etc.

The main aim was to develop & promote set of guidelines/standard for sharing digital media/content among various devices. DLNA standard has incorporated many existing standards including UPNP(Universal plug and play) , for media management , device discovery , control over AV.

HISTORY
  • DLNA standard was formed in the year 2003 by group of companies by the name DHWG (Digital Home Working Group) later known as DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).
  • Later in the year 2004 , first set of guidelines was published that defined the Protocols & Architecture of the system , support for various media formats , different categories of devices were also classified.
  • In 2006 , Two new product categories were classified i.e. Printers and mobile phones.

IMPLEMENTATION/SPECIFICATION

DLNA certified devices has various classes mainly divided into two i.e Servers and clients
  • Digital Media Server (DMS) : DMS stores content & makes it available to other digital media players via transfer protocols like http , rtsp , rtp , etc and TCP/IP protocols.                                    Example : Serviio , VLC , Roku , Plex , etc
  • Digital Media players (DMP) : DMP act as clients for DMS which access stored content from DMS and plays it on client device wirelessly with no buffering and lag.                                           Example : VLC media player , Ace stream , etc
The comparison for various Digital media servers is linked here.

( (( ( ( Project RangeS3 ) ) ) ) ) Solution to Weak Wi-fi Signal propagation from old Wireless Router by using a Wi-fi repeater Application on the Android phone Hello guys , Welcome to another technical blog in which I will show you a very interesting application that will extend your Wi-fi signal in your home with zero cost and minimum setup time. Without any further due, lets gets started. In these Blog, I will discuss all of the following points below: Why we want to extend our Wi-fi signal present in our home network and what are the benefits of doing it? What are the reasons that I have used this method in this project instead of buying a new Wireless Router? If Wifi signal is not the issue then why to use this App? Why to use specific Wi-fi Repeater application VPN HOTSPOT by MyGodStudio on play store instead of all other Wi-Fi-repeater applications available? Technical specs and conditions to satisfy before proceeding further? How to Implement this project and how-to s...

 1. What are arrays and why are they needed? Arrays are the most important and brilliant piece of development in software area. They are grouped into data structures and its use and implications is very high in programming languages. So what are arrays, Array is also a type of variable just like int, char, float, etc.. but with some changes. Here array has a structure, data structure with a collection of data elements in a structured way of storing it. It holds similar type of data elements. Why are they needed, consider this example. there are 20 students whose marks is to be scanned and printed. So in terms of programming language, we need at least 20 variables to hold 20 students marks, 20 statements or ( 1 statement with 20 variables ) for getting input, 20 print statements for printing marks. Therefore it is really manual, tedious, highly taxing and error prone process. Since this was only 20 students, consider 200, 2000, 20000 or 200000 students data entry job. It is exponent...

Short forms used DS -> Data structure 1. Explain the features of a good program. A good program is one that has the following points covered 1. Runs Correctly 2. Easy to read and undersand  3. is easy to modify A good program that runs correctly but runs efficiently, that's important. So a program that takes less time to execute and occupies minimum storage space is a good program. And also meets other points mentioned above. 2. Define the terms: data, file, record, and primary key.  Data : The term data means values or data sets  Record : It is a collection of data items like name, address, phone number, etc.. File : File is a collection of related records. File may be of school students attendance records, or marks records etc Primary Key : In a record that contains data items like name , id , phone number, age , etc.. , A primary key is the id field which is unique for each data item and cannot repeat , therefore using this as a key will serve identification of reco...
