DLNA, Ethernet?

Posted by: Hardy on 08 May 2007

Hi,

the new Pioneer blu-ray player BDP LX 70 will be launched in June this year.
Looking at the Pioneer website it offers DLNA? What is this?
The description says that you will be able to connect your PC to this player and use all your stored MPEG, Jpeg, WMA,... files and see them on your Flat-Screen.

And there will be a new plasma-generation LX... sept/oktober this year too and the 50"/60" panel will offer full HD (not this expensive 5000 plasma, but no price told) with great black-level.

But do I have to care about these seducing products as long as there are not more than a 100 blu-ray discs out (and are they really MPEG-4 encoded or most time in MPEG-2?), more than 95% of TV broadcasting is still in SD and most time I watch broadcasting (due to my family situation with little children, me and my wife haven´t got the time to watch long films at the moment)?

Maybe I should better investigate my money in a s/h Nottingham TT my local dealer offers at the moment.

regards
Hardy

Hi Hardy

DLNA = Digital Living Network Alliance

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLNA

http://www.dlna.org/

Basically, it regulates how to stream multimedia data between devices (computers and consumer electronics) of different manufacturers.

Hope this helps.

happy watching
