3 _NETWORK STREAMING
3.1 _THE UPNP PROTOCOL
The Altitude
16
network streamer feature is based on the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) set of networking
protocols. In the UPnP/DLNA terminology, the Altitude
16
is a UPnP Digital Media Rendering device and is
used as a slave equipment to play media content sent through the network.
The Altitude
16
must be used with DLNA/UPnP compatible server and controller devices. The Media Server shares
its media library on the network with UPnP clients. The Media Controller is the master device, used to automatical-
ly detect servers and play files on slave devices as well as to control them.
Provided that the server supports these formats, the Altitude
16
can decode and play high-resolution 24 bit/192 kHz
WAV, AIFF, FLAC and
16
bit/192 kHz OGG music files.
3.2 _UPNP NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
This architecture represents the most common and comfortable method to play media files in a domestic
environment:
• A Network-Attached Storage (NAS) or a computer is used as UPnP server and shares the media library.
• The library is browsed from a Media Controller, installed on a tablet or smartphone.
• The Altitude
16
is selected as rendering device from the Media Controller.
!
NOTE: Most NAS are UPnP compatible servers but any computer can be turned into a server provided that a compatible UPnP server software is
installed.
Several applications can turn smartphone and tablets into media controllers or servers.
