Benefits of UPnP

  • Zero configuration. No need for configuration and registering. Users simply plugs in your product and it will connect to all other compatible devices automatically.
  • Open architecture based on established internet standards. Therefore no special device drivers are required, common network protocols are used.
  • Does not require access to open internet or servers. A direct communication link between devices on the network is automatically established.
  • UPnP works on both wired and wireless networks.
  • Support from major industry participants and built-in support in operating systems

 

Digital Living Network Alliance

Craftwork supports major Home Network Device classes defined by DLNA 1.5 for vendor independent device inter-operability. These include Digital Media Server, Player, Renderer and Controller.  

About UPnP

UPnP was started in 2003 as an alliance between major hardware and software industry participants to promote true plug and play technology based on open standards.  

Today 240 companies have joined the alliance, and over 1 billion UPnP devices are already deployed in end-user homes. This number is expected to increase to 2 billion by 2016.
