Building a Great Digital Media Server
Windows 7 has embraced the DLNA 1.5 specification for devices. This means that the DLNA 1.5 DMS can interact with Windows Media Player as a DMP and Windows Media Player as a DMR.
For a DMS to work with Windows, it must comply with DLNA. A set of rules must be followed so that Windows can discover DLNA 1.5 servers and make them available to the consumer.
In DLNA, DMS devices are divided into two categories: mobile devices (M-DMS) and home DMSs. The Windows 7 logo requirements are relaxed for M-DMS devices because of mobile device memory constraints. In the future, manufacturers of M-DMS devices should enable the High Definition Media Server (HDMS) requirements, as they improve the user experience.
