One of the more exciting parts of the model that was illustrated previously in Scenario 3 is the DMC. The DMC lets the user find the content on the server and send it to the DMR device within the home ecosystem.
Although this is one of the more important elements of the system, the actual Windows requirements for these devices are fairly limited. A DMC device must comply with DLNA and support Microsoft® Rally™ technologies.
In addition to the requirements that DLNA specifies, the WLP requires DMC devices to be able to wake up other devices. The DMC device controls the servers and the renderers, so if those devices are in sleep mode, the DMC device must be able to send magic packets to wake them up (NETMEDIA-0074).
