Universal Plug and Play Audio Video ( UPnP A/V) and Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
define standard network protocols for streaming media.
•
UPnP A/V is a set of network protocols that allow networked devices to communicate seamlessly
in a home networking environment. The Digital Media Servers on your HP MediaSmart Server,
TwonkyMedia and Windows Media Connect, use UPnP/AV.
•
DLNA is a set of standards (that includes UPnP A/V) for sharing media between devices.
TwonkyMedia is DLNA compliant. Windows Media Connect is not. This compliance allows
TwonkyMedia to work with more DMRs.
