DLNADigital Living Network Alliance aims to deliver an interoperability framework of designguidelines based on open industry standards to complete cross-industry digital convergence.The resulting ‘digital home’ should then be a network of consumer electronic, mobile andPC devices that transparently co-operate to deliver simple, seamless interoperability thatenhances and enriches users’ experience.See also: HANAWebsite: www.dlna.orgDDLP(Texas Instruments Inc.) Digital Light Processing is the projection and display technologywhich uses digital micromirror devices (DMD) as the light modulator. It is a collectionof electronic and optical subsystems which enable picture information to be decodedand projected as high-resolution digital color images. DLP technology enables the makingof very compact, high brightness projectors. Over one million systems have been soldto the consumer market and DLP is also a major supplier to the cinema market.See also: DLP Cinema, DMDWebsite: www.dlp.comDLP Cinema(Texas Instruments Inc.) DLP Cinema is a version of DLP technology that has been developedfor digital electronic movie presentation. It contains extended color management and controland enhanced contrast performance. DLP Cinema is a major supplier of the digital cinemamarket with thousands of DLP Cinema technology-based projectors installed in commercialcinemas around the world. As the technology allows for fast frame rates of more than doublethe 24 f/s of normal cinema, it can be used to project stereo movies where left and right eyeframes are sequenced through one projector – helping to make ‘3D’ movies look good andeasy to show.See also: DLP, DMDWebsite: www.dlp.comDMBDigital Multimedia Broadcasting. Developed and first adopted in South Korea (2005),DMB is a digital transmission system for television, radio and datacasting to mobile devices/phone and can operate over satellite (S-DMB) or terrestrially (T-DMB). DMB is based on theEureka 147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) standard, and has similarities with DVB-H,a competing mobile TV standard.T-DMB (ETSI standard TS 102 427 and TS 102 428) uses MPEG-4 H.264 for video and HE-AACV2 for the audio, together encapsulated in an MPEG-2 transport stream (TS). The encodedTS is broadcast on DAB in data stream mode. Application devices include mobile phones,portable TV, and PDAs as well as data/radio for cars.67See also: DVB-H, MediaFLO
