FOREWORD
1) ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) form
the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards. Their preparation is entrusted to technical
committees; any ISO and IEC member body interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this
preparatory work. International governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with ISO and IEC
also participate in this preparation.
2) In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC
1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for
voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies
casting a vote.
3) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC and ISO member bodies.
4) IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted
by IEC and ISO member bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the
technical content of IEC, ISO and ISO/IEC publications is accurate, IEC or ISO cannot be held responsible for
the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
5) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC and ISO member bodies undertake to apply IEC, ISO and
ISO/IEC publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications.
Any divergence between any ISO/IEC publication and the corresponding national or regional publication should
be clearly indicated in the latter.
6) ISO and IEC provide no marking procedure to indicate their approval and cannot be rendered responsible for
any equipment declared to be in conformity with an ISO/IEC publication.
7) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
8) No liability shall attach to IEC or ISO or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of their technical committees and IEC or ISO member bodies for any personal injury,
property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including
legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication of, use of, or reliance upon, this ISO/IEC publication or
any other IEC, ISO or ISO/IEC publications.
9) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

1 Overview and Scope
1.1 Introduction
This service definition is compliant with the UPnP Device Architecture version 1.0.
This service-type enables modeling of streaming capabilities of A/V devices, and binding of those capabilities
between devices. Each device that is able to send or receive a stream according to the UPnP AV Architecture will
have 1 instance of the ConnectionManager service. This service provides a mechanism for control points to:
1. Perform capability matching between source/server devices and sink/renderer devices,
2. Find information about currently ongoing transfers in the network,
3. Setup and teardown connections between devices (when required by the streaming protocol).
The ConnectionManager service is generic enough to properly abstract different kinds of streaming mechanisms,
such as HTTP-based streaming, RTSP/RTP-based and 1394-based streaming.
The ConnectionManager enables control points to abstract from physical media interconnect technology when
making connections. The term ‘stream’ used in this service template refers to both analog and digital data
transfer.
1.2 Notation
• In this document, features are described as Required, Recommended, or Optional as follows:
The key words “MUST,” “MUST NOT,” “REQUIRED,” “SHALL,” “SHALL NOT,” “SHOULD,”
“SHOULD NOT,” “RECOMMENDED,” “MAY,” and “OPTIONAL” in this specification are to be
interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].
In addition, the following keywords are used in this specification:
PROHIBITED – The definition or behavior is an absolute prohibition of this specification. Opposite of
REQUIRED.
CONDITIONALLY REQUIRED – The definition or behavior depends on a condition. If the specified
condition is met, then the definition or behavior is REQUIRED, otherwise it is PROHIBITED.
CONDITIONALLY OPTIONAL – The definition or behavior depends on a condition. If the specified
condition is met, then the definition or behavior is OPTIONAL, otherwise it is PROHIBITED.
These keywords are thus capitalized when used to unambiguously specify requirements over protocol
and application features and behavior that affect the interoperability and security of implementations.
When these words are not capitalized, they are meant in their natural-language sense.
• Strings that are to be taken literally are enclosed in “double quotes”.
• Words that are emphasized are printed in italic.
• Keywords that are defined by the UPnP AV Working Committee are printed using the forum character
style.
• Keywords that are defined by the UPnP Device Architecture are printed using the arch character style.
• A double colon delimiter, “::”, signifies a hierarchical parent-child (parent::child) relationship between
the two objects separated by the double colon. This delimiter is used in multiple contexts, for example:
Service::Action(), Action()::Argument, parentProperty::childProperty.
1.2.1 Data Types
This specification uses data type definitions from two different sources. The UPnP Device Architecture defined
data types are used to define state variable and action argument data types [DEVICE]. The XML Schema
namespace is used to define property data types [XML SCHEMA-2].
For UPnP Device Architecture defined Boolean data types, it is strongly RECOMMENDED to use the value “0”
for false, and the value “1” for true. However, when used as input arguments, the values “false”, “no”, “true”,

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
29341-4-11 © ISO/IEC:2008(E) – 9 –
“yes” may also be encountered and MUST be accepted. Nevertheless, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that all
state variables and output arguments be represented as “0” and “1”.
For XML Schema defined Boolean data types, it is strongly RECOMMENDED to use the value “0” for false,
and the value “1” for true. However, when used as input properties, the values “false”, “true” may also be
encountered and MUST be accepted. Nevertheless, it is strongly RECOMMENDED that all properties be
represented as “0” and “1”.
1.2.2 Strings Embedded in Other Strings
Some string variables and arguments described in this document contain substrings that MUST be independently
identifiable and extractable for other processing. This requires the definition of appropriate substring delimiters
and an escaping mechanism so that these delimiters can also appear as ordinary characters in the string and/or its
independent substrings. This document uses embedded strings in two contexts – Comma Separated Value (CSV)
lists (see Section 1.3.1, “Comma Separated Value (CSV) Lists”) and property values in search criteria strings.
Escaping conventions use the backslash character, “\” (character code U+005C), as follows:
a. Backslash (“\”) is represented as “\\” in both contexts.
b. Comma (“,”) is
1. represented as “\,” in individual substring entries in CSV lists
2. not escaped in search strings
c. Double quote (“””) is
1. not escaped in CSV lists
2. not escaped in search strings when it appears as the start or end delimiter of a property value
3. represented as “\”” in search strings when it appears as a character that is part of the property value
1.2.3 Extended Backus-Naur Form
Extended Backus-Naur Form is used in this document for a formal syntax description of certain constructs. The
usage here is according to the reference [EBNF].
1.2.3.1 Typographic conventions for EBNF
Non-terminal symbols are unquoted sequences of characters from the set of English upper and lower case
letters, the digits “0” through “9”, and the hyphen (“-”).  Character sequences between 'single quotes'
are terminal strings and MUST appear literally in valid strings. Character sequences between (*com
