"DLNA Home networkd device interoperability guidelines" in fast procedure (62481 -1, -2)
DLNA Home networkd device interoperability guidelines -
Part 1: Architecture and Protocols
Part 2: Media Formats

This part of International Standard specifies the information needed to build interoperable networked platforms and devices for the digital home on audio, video and multimedia systems, including interoperable components for devices and software infrastructure, physical media, network transports, device discovery and control, media management and control, media formats, and media transport protocols. This International Standard also provides product developers with a long-term architectural view, plus specific guidance for IP-networked platforms, devices and applications in the home.

New publications
IEC 61966-7-1 Ed. 2.0 (2006-05) Multimedia systems and equipment - Colour measurement and management - Part 7-1: Colour printers - Reflective prints - RGB inputs

specifies a set of data in colour test chart files for measurements, sampling of successive prints, measurement conditions and forms of reporting the results so as to make possible the characterization of the colour printer and comparison of the results of measurements. The sets of data for measurements are in colour test chart files expressed in a red-green-blue colour space, to which corresponding colour images are reproduced on reflective substrate. The methods of measurement in this standard are designed to be applicable to reflective colour prints for consumer use. The reflective colour prints may be produced by non-impact colour printers, incorporating such technologies as ink-jet, sublimation transfer, thermal transfer, electro-photography and other similar technologies

IEC 60958-3 Ed. 3.0 (2006-05) Digital audio interface - Part 3: Consumer applications

specifies the consumer application of the interface for the interconnection of digital audio equipment defined in IEC 60958-1.

IEC 62394 Ed. 1.0 (2006-06) Service diagnostic interface for consumer electronics products and networks - Implementation for ECHONET

requirements for service diagnostic software to be implemented in products that incorporate a digital interface. It does not specify requirements for carrying out remote diagnosis or for manufacturer-dependent software.requires the use of a controller (exclusive controller or general-purpose controller/PC) into which service diagnostic software can be loaded. Part of this controller software should be standardized while another part of this controller software is manufacturer-/product-related.is the minimal specification necessary to be able to carry out computerized diagnosis and covers the standardized software of the controller as well as the standardized software and provisions in the DUT.
