DLNA
Abbreviation for “Digital Living Network Alliance”. Guidelines which define
the interaction between various multimedia devices when it comes to the
transfer of digital content. They make it possible to transfer this content to fixed
home devices, mobile devices and other products connected to various
networks, including cable, satellite and mobile phone networks. These
guidelines also include standards such as
UPnP
.
Ethernet
Ethernet is without a doubt the most popular standard for computer networks.
The signals can be transferred via various types of cables and at differing
speeds. A computer is connected to one end of the cable, while the other end
is connected to a
hub
or
switch
which acts a distributor within the network.
Hub
Within the
network
, the hub is responsible for distributing data to the
computers it is intended for. In larger networks, this can be connected to
additional hubs or switches, themselves serving numerous computers. Many
routers already incorporate a hub, allowing direct connection of multiple
computers and quick setup of small home networks.
Internet radio
Internet radio is an audio service transmitted via the internet. Listeners are
provided with a permanent audio stream which cannot normally be paused,
time-shifted or repeated. This is a radio broadcast which is not transmitted via
radio waves.
IP Address
In the same way as the postman needs a street and house number in order to
deliver post, the target devices must be assigned addresses in data
communication in order for the data to be delivered to the right device. On the
internet and in conventional computer networks, this is the IP address. As a
user, you do not normally need to think about IP addresses, as the applications
and devices you use do this for themselves.
LAN
Abbreviation for “Local Area Network”. The LAN is a traditional cabled
network used in companies and now in the home. It consists of multiple
computers and other devices which are connected with one another and can
communicate and exchange data with one another. The LAN is often
connected to the internet.
Multiroom
A function whereby multiple compatible devices can be grouped on the
wireless network and centrally controlled (e.g. via a smartphone app). For
example, you can install one speaker per room, group them and then use your
smartphone or tablet to control them centrally. For instance, if you select a
radio station, it will be played on all grouped speakers.
Network
A series of data processing devices which are connected together and can
communicate with one another. This connection can be via cable (
LAN
) or via
wireless (
WiFi
).
Pairing
One-off synchronisation between two
Bluetooth
devices to “get to know one
another”. After two devices have been successfully paired once, the wireless
connection between them is automatically restored when the two devices are
switched on and within range at a later date.
Podcast
Digital media file (audio or video) which is broadcast via the internet or
another network on request. This is not a live stream.
