FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62481-5 has been prepared under technical area 8: Multimedia
home systems and applications for end-user network, IEC technical committee 100: Audio,
video and multimedia systems and equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2013. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) removal of CVP-NA-1;
b) addition of CVP-2.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
100/2734/CDV 100/2884/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of IEC 62481 series, published under the general title Digital Living Network
Alliance (DLNA) home networked device interoperability guidelines, can be found on the IEC
website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
Consumers are acquiring, viewing, and managing an increasing amount of digital media (photos,
music, and video) on devices in the consumer electronics (CE), mobile, and Personal Computer
(PC) domains. As such, they want to conveniently enjoy the content, regardless of the source,
across different devices and locations in the home. The digital home vision integrates the
Internet, mobile, and broadcast networks through a seamless, interoperable network, which will
provide a unique opportunity for manufacturers and consumers alike. In order to cater for this
need, a common set of industry design guidelines is needed that allows vendors to participate in
a growing marketplace, leading to more innovation, simplicity, and value for consumers. This
document serves that purpose and provides vendors with the information needed to build
interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home.

DIGITAL LIVING NETWORK ALLIANCE (DLNA) HOME
NETWORKED DEVICE INTEROPERABILITY GUIDELINES –

Part 5: Device Profiles
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62481 (the DLNA guidelines) specifies guidelines that define various DLNA
Device Profiles. A Device Profile is a collection of DLNA capabilities and features within a DLNA
device. A device is compliant with a Device Profile when it conforms to all the guidelines listed
for that Device Profile.
In practice, Device Profiles reference existing optional or recommended DLNA guidelines that
enable certain features, and make those DLNA guidelines mandatory within the context of a
Device Profile. A Device Profile can also provide some additional guidelines that complement or
modify existing DLNA guidelines for a feature.
A particular type of the DLNA Device Profile is the Commercial Video Profile (CVP). A CVP
Device Profile is an extension of the DLNA guidelines that allows content from service providers
and multichannel video programming distributers to be distributed on the DLNA network. DLNA
Commercial Video Profiles (CVPs) are defined as Device Profiles that consistently enable
commercial content that enters the home network through a gateway device via an interface to
a commercial content service provider. Since different regions of the world have different
requirements for commercial content, multiple CVPs are defined.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any

5 DLNA Device Profile guidelines
5.1 Overview
This clause describes the format of the guidelines for DLNA Device Profiles. Applicability of a
referenced guideline to a specific Device Class is defined both by the attribute table of the
guideline that references it, as well as by the "applicable Device Classes" column of the Device
Profile definition in the table at the top of each Device Profile clause.
CVP-2 architecture, system usages and deployment scenarios is described in Annex A, and the
CVP-2 client implementer’s guide is in Annex C.
5.2 Defined Device Profiles
Each Device Profile begins with a table that briefly describes it.
This table also indicates which DLNA Device Classes the Device Profile applies to. Although a
guideline, as defined, could apply to additional Device Classes, the defined Device Profile only

– 10 – IEC 62481-5:2017 © IEC 2017
provides for the guideline’s applicability to the Device Classes listed in conjunction with the
Device Profile.
The definition of a Device Profile in Table 1 (the applicable Device Classes and the Device
Profile name) is a normative definition of that Device Profile. The Device Classes that a
guideline applies to within the context of a Device Profile are the intersection of the Device
Classes the guideline applies to (from its attribute table) and the Device Classes that the Device
Profile applies to (from its introductory table). See 7.1 in IEC 62481-1-1:2017 for guideline and
attribute table layout descriptions.
