Controlling your media
Whether you are designing multimedia applications for a set-top box,
mobile phone or some other kind of media device, the AwoX Controller SDK
gives you all the tools you need to discover and control the servers and renderers
available on the network. Its architecture is designed to be integrated within any
user interface framework, from a Web browser to an LCD screen.

To ensure industry-wide compatibility, the AwoX Controller SDK is fully compliant with the
DMC profile (defined by DLNA 1.5 guidelines) and with the UPnP AV 1.1 Control Point profile.
Awox DMC, for PC and the TI DaVinci platform, was tested with flying colors at each DLNA plugfest in 2007.
