Abstract
With the wide adoption of Internet technology and massive penetration of all types of handheld equipments and embedded systems, digital home has risen for converging several network-connected devices in delivering media entertainment in a home environment. The evolution of WWW from browsing websites to connecting different devices in the digital home is mainly driven by the strong demand of home entertainment. Surprisingly, such transition is quite smooth and compatible to existing technology. Most of the OSI-ISO layers are reused as the underlying protocols and some additional protocols are introduced to address services discovery and collaboration, timing, congestion control, Quality of Service (QoS) concerned found in digital home streaming.
One of the substantial protocols employed in digital home is the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol, which is mainly responsible for assuring the interoperability of various kinds of devices and hence facilitating possible integration of components. In this thesis, we will introduce the UPnP protocol and technology with tool kits from Intel are highly leveraged to build a prototype media server, which was adopted from Intel’s sample Digital Media Server (DMS). The implementation is then tested and evaluated with external UPnP control points such as Device Monitor and AV Media Controller from Intel technology. Additionally, we will share the experience from building the media server, and show the evaluation results.
