  ASTRI UPnP AV SDK for UPnP™ Certified Standard Devices
   
 

Nowadays, a variety of disparate Audio/Video devices exist that support storage, playback, and rendering of content. But each device typically supports only a limited and specific format type and cannot discover and control each other. ASTRI UPnP AV solution provides an easy way to bring UPnP™ standard into these devices so that they can work together with the functionality of personal media sharing among UPnP-compliant home entertainment devices. Our SDKs support the implementation of UPnP™ certified Media Server/Renderer and Control Point.

Reference Applications

Networked DVD Player

A DVD player equips with networking and UPnP capability. It allows users to access the multimedia content stored in PCs and playback on TVs as well as stereo systems.

Portable Media Center

This is a network attached storage device featuring UPnP and media decoding. It serves as a portable media server that allows users to access all networked multimedia content and playback on rendering devices.

Networked Portable Media Player
This is a portable media player enhanced with networking and UPnP capability. It allows users to play media content stored in PCs at any time and anywhere with real-time streaming.

Networked Digital Photo Frame
A digital photo frame equips with networking and UPnP capabilities. In addition to rendering photos directly from PCs. It also supports instant streaming of video content.

Networked TV
Equipped with networking and UPnP capabilities, traditional broadcasting content as well as media content stored in PCs can be rendered directly without any intermediate devices.
Globally Accessible Technology
While UPnP technology enables networked consumer electronics to interoperate with each others within the same network, our patented "Extended Home" technology brings seamless-connectivity to end users among devices across different networks, firewalls and Internet.
UPnP™ is a certification mark of the UPnP™ Implementers Corporation.
