DLNA home networking simplifies photo sharing

(NC) – Canada is a big country. This is always most apparent around the holidays when loved ones travel from coast to coast, coming together to celebrate the season. Visits are often too short, but with technology options such as DLNA home networking, you can make the most of your precious time with loved ones.

Instead of struggling with photo albums, burning home videos to DVD or unnecessarily wrestling with wires to play photo slideshows on your television, DLNA-certified devices allow users to easily store, send and play content across the home network.

DLNA networking is all about sharing – pictures, videos and music. This is why DLNA is such a great application for the holidays. Sharing across the home network means less time wasted on set up and more time spent catching up with friends and family.

Rather than huddling around a laptop, users can now wirelessly access all of their content on a DLNA certified television. Thanks to DLNA technology, televisions such as Toshiba’s VX700 and WX800 series can easily act as stereo systems, digital picture frames and even personal computers.

“Creating DLNA-certified products was the first step towards sharing content across devices,” says Toshiba product manager, Mini Saluja. “The next pivotal leap was our creation of the Toshiba Media Controller, a new, proprietary software application available on all new Toshiba notebooks.”

This intuitive application features a drag-and-drop interface, allowing users to painlessly push content from their notebook to their television, another laptop and even their mobile phone wirelessly to other DLNA devices without the usual headaches and hassles. Users can even connect through their Xbox 360 to enjoy photo slide shows or music playlists.

Imagine a hassle free holiday moment – no headaches, wires or moving from room to room. Instead, relax and effortlessly share memories from the past year and make each moment a special one. It’s often said home is where the heart is. This holiday season, home is where DLNA is.
