DLNA Technology coming to Samsung products

This is one of the most exciting evolutions to come to the consumer electronics industry and one that is bound to give you greater satisfaction from your Samsung products.

 

DLNA is short for the Digital Living Network Alliance and is an association of over 250 consumer electronics, IT and mobile device manufacturers who have collaborated to develop a set of open standards that allows different digital devices to be connected (or networked) to each other. Samsung has been a long-time member of the DLNA.

 

Basically, the best way to describe DLNA technology is that it is the adoption of IP Networking in the consumer electronics industry. In essence it allows the networking of your audio visual equipment (such as your Samsung TV), with your PC's, printers and mobile phones to allow seamless transfer (either wired or wirelessly) of digital content including photos, music, movies and more.

A new product that will incorporate the DLNA technology is Samsung's upcoming Series 7, 8 and 9 LCD TV's.

 

Looking at the back of the TV, it incorporates an Ethernet port which will allow you to connect the TV to your home computer network.

 

 

 

The benefit of DLNA

You can easily "stream" the digital content on your PC's (such as photos, music or movies) and play them directly on your Samsung television (and also play the audio through an attached home theatre). With DLNA, the TV becomes a "media extender" and allows for the digital content to be played outside of just the PC.

 

DLNA technology will also be available on mobile devices (such as Samsung mobile phones) that allow you to serve content from your phone or play content on your phone from other devices. This is done wirelessly through wireless networking technology. The DLNA technology will emerge shortly on some of Samsung's new mobile phones.
