DLNA Network Environments

PowerDVD Mobile supports various ways to access and play your digital media files
on a DLNA network environment. When media files are shared on a network, not
only does it provide more value for your home media center, but it also enriches
the digital multimedia lifestyle through the playback of videos, music, and photos.

Using the home media feature in PowerDVD Mobile, you can download any shared
digital media files, such as videos, music, and photos, from the available Digital
Media Servers. By using your Android device as a Digital Media Controller, you can
also access and play the files stored on a Digital Media Server from anywhere inside
your home.

DLNA Network Overview

You can begin experiencing your media in a whole new way using a DLNA
compliant Digital Media Server on your desktop PC or notebook, and PowerDVD
Mobile on your Android device.

With CyberLink PowerDVD Mobile installed on your Android device, you can use it
as a Digital Media Player by connecting to a DLNA compliant Digital Media Server
installed on your desktop PC or notebook. Your desktop PC or notebook acts as a
Digital Media Server, and will allow your Android device to access the videos,
music, and photos stored on it.

You can also use PowerDVD Mobile to access and then play the media files that are
on your Android device, on your desktop PC or notebook. This time the Android
device is acting as a Digital Media Controller and your desktop PC or notebook is a
Digital Media Renderer.

PowerDVD Mobile can also act as a Digital Media Controller by accessing any
videos, music, and photos that are on one computer and playing them on another.
To do this, you have to set the computer that has the media files as a Digital Media
Server and the other computer as a Digital Media Renderer.
