DLNA starts the year with 2 new certification programs for consumer software and protected streaming certification.

Consumers can now upgrade their non-certified products using DLNA software through their personal networks-- making it easy to move content between products,regardless of manufacturer.

Meanwhile protected streaming certification leverages DTCP-IP for commercial movie sharing across consumers' networks. The EIC recognises this program as an international standard.

Currently 5 certification labs worldwide test DLNA certified products.
