Remote User Interfaces and the RVU Alliance
The RVU Alliance has developed a specification for full-featured 'pixel accurate' remote user interface technology that provides an identical user experience on all RVU thin client CE devices including set top boxes, digital TVs and media servers. The RVU guidelines make heavy use of DLNA interoperability for device discovery, learning device capabilities and especially DTCP/IP for link protection. All content requested by an RVU client is sent using DTCP/IP as described in the DLNA Interoperability Guidelines. CE OEM/ODMs are encouraged to create RVU clients and servers that advance the home networking user experience. By leveraging existing open standards that continue to grow, RVU is positioned to evolve with the burgeoning global home networking technology trend. &ldquoAs a leading supplier of DLNA Technology to OEMs/ODMs worldwide, working with the RVU Alliance to create enabling technology for device manufactures is a natural progression for Allegro&rdquo says Bob Van Andel, CEO and President of Allegro. &ldquoBy expanding Allegro's existing RomPlug suite of UPnP/DLNA software development toolkits to support RVU capabilities, manufacturers can deliver products that are highly interoperable, flexible and provide a common interface to allow users easy access to digital content&rdquo.

Allegro highlights latest DLNA® interoperability with RDMC 101 reference platform
SAN JOSE, CA and BOXBOROUGH, MA – March 30, 2009
SAN JOSE, CA and BOXBOROUGH, MA - March 30, 2009 - Today at the Embedded Systems Conference Allegro announced DLNA CERTIFIED status for its RDMC 101. The RDMC 101 is a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) reference testbed Digital Media Controller (DMC) that complies with the latest DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines: Expanded (Version 1.5). Specifically targeted for use by DLNA Independent Certification Vendors and Consumer Electronics (CE) manufacturers creating DLNA enabled products, the RDMC 101 is ideal for validating interoperability within the DLNA 3 Box model. As a reference testbed DMC device, the RDMC 101 is used by DLNA Independent Certification Vendors (ICVs), the authorized test labs for DLNA Certification Testing, worldwide for validating DLNA enabled CE designs to ensure proper operation within the DLNA interoperability framework.
DLNA Interoperability Testing
Seamless integration and interoperability of content on consumer electronics, mobile devices, personal computers represent the vision of DLNA. To ensure interoperability between DLNA devices, DLNA developed and manages a comprehensive certification program. Vendor products that successfully complete the "DLNA Certification & Logo" program are awarded use of the DLNA CERTIFIED accreditation to display on the product, product literature and packaging. Allegro's RDMC 101 is DLNA CERTIFIED and has been selected as a reference testbed device to be used by all ICVs worldwide in their DLNA testing and certification laboratories. “The DLNA Certification and Logo program is critical to supporting the vision of an interoperable network of familiar devices such as PCs, mobile devices, TVs, digital cameras and printers and more,” said Scott Smyers, chairman of the DLNA Board of Directors. “Products must undergo extensive testing against DLNA guidelines to earn a DLNA CERTIFIED logo. This Logo tells consumers that the product they're looking at meets DLNA certification testing requirements and has proven to easily connect with other DLNA Certified devices throughout the digital home and beyond. It is a true credit to the Allegro RDMC 101 to be used as a testbed device, against which others are evaluated.”
In addition to its formal certification program, DLNA conducts “plugfests” (interoperability workshops) on a regular basis. The plugfests are held in various locations around the world in order to allow maximum participation from device vendors across the globe. These plugfests provide DLNA member companies the opportunity to test products under development against other member's products using DLNA test tools, and are excellent dress rehearsals for DLNA certification testing.
“The vision of smart, networked connected devices was a founding principle of Allegro many years ago. We remain committed to that simple principle and strongly believe ubiquitous interoperability between CE devices, PCs and mobile platforms is a vision we share along with 350+ member companies with DLNA” says Robert Van Andel, CEO and President of Allegro. “We are proud to play a role in the DLNA Certification process and to offer the RDMC 101 as a reference testbed device”.
