IEC 62481-2:2013

Digital living network alliance (DLNA) home networked device interoperability guidelines - Part 2: DLNA media formats

IEC 62481-2:2013(E) describes DLNA Media Format Profiles applicable to the DLNA Device Classes defined in IEC 62481-1. Media Format Profiles are defined for each of the following media classes: Audio, Image, and AV. In addition, Profile ID values that identify media collections and printer XHTML documents are also introduced. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007, and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following changes:
- addition of new optional media format profiles for Audio and AV content;
- addition of mandatory media format profiles for the CVP-1 Device Profile;
- includes updates to resolve interoperability issues. A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
