The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) releases a new set of video playback interoperability guidelines at this year's Connected Home Global Summit.

A result of work with global cable, satellite and telecommunications providers the guidelines leverage DTCP-IP protecting streaming, which the DLNA says simplifies content availability for playback on digital TVs, blu-ray players, games consoles and STBs.

The new guidelines are already part of Cablelabs' tru2way home networking specification and associated open source reference implementation (which enables secure cable content transfer to DLNA-certified devices).

The DLNA should start certifying products to these guidelines later this year.
