DLNA
FRAMES
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard for sharing various
digital media throughout devices such as personal computers, TV sets,
mobile devices, etc. It is based upon the UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play) protocol, which allows easy and seamless access and sharing
of media content among networked devices. It is estimated that more
than 9,000 products on today’s market are DLNA Certified. DivX Plus
Player uses DLNA to enable high-quality video playback of your
collection by streaming the content to DLNA Certified devices—
on your computer, throughout your home and on the go.
At its most basic, a video is a series of pictures shown one after the
other in quick succession. When the pictures are played fast enough
the image appears to move. Each picture in a video is called a frame
and the speed at which they are shown is the frame rate, given in
frames per second, or fps.
If we were to slow a video down to such an extent that it was
possible to see individual frames it would become evident there
is generally little change in the picture between adjacent frames.
Frames in sequence would appear very similar to each other,
objects in each consecutive frame moving position only slightly.
DivX takes advantage of this behavior as a means to compress
the data requires to store a video.
