No single manufacturer, guarantees you that he is specialize in all digital media components, neither all the consumer buy all the devices from the same manufacturer. So there should be compatibility between all the devices and DLNA certified products allow interoperability between these devices. The interoperability guidelines are the key component of a product's functionality, their set-up and their simple inter-working. The Interoperability Guidelines also used to build platforms and software infrastructure.
