Web browser company Opera Software and AwoX, a leading international
supplier of Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) solutions,
announced today that AwoX DLNA technology, mediaCTRL SDK, is now
integrated into the Opera Devices SDK. This solution will enable TV
and set-top-box manufacturers to entertain users with easy access to
high quality content across different devices.
What is the DLNA, and what does it mean for consumers? The Digital
Living Network Alliance is a group of manufacturers who work on
standards and solutions for sharing digital content on different
consumer devices. For consumers, this means more content on more
devices, easier. For instance, they can easily send files from their
different networked devices, such as cameras or mobile phones, right
to their TVs.
The number of connected devices in homes is growing and users are
looking for an easier way to share media among them. With the
integration of the AwoX DLNA solution into the Opera Devices SDK,
manufacturers can easily explore home networks to discover
DLNA-enabled devices. This integration also gives manufacturers an
option to use a remote user interface to give users a unified user
interface across networked devices.
The Opera Devices SDK allows manufacturers to develop custom browsers
based on Opera’s powerful rendering engine. Web browsers, application
stores, electronic program guides and other connected TV solutions
based on the Opera Devices SDK have been deployed on a wide range of
products such as TVs, games consoles, media players and Internet tablets.
The Awox mediaCTRL Software Development Kit provides manufacturers
with a complete solution to integrate the next generation of
multimedia features in their products. It provides interoperability
with thousands of DLNA-certified home devices. Awox mediaCTRL supports
the leading platforms and chipsets for all advanced DLNA use and has
been deployed in over 40 million devices.
Opera and AwoX are exhibiting at CES 2012 in Las Vegas, January 10-13
in the LVCC. Opera’s meeting room is located in South Hall S2, Lower
Level, Number MP26044. AwoX’s booth is located in South Hall 3,
Higher Level, Stand Number 31468.
