CDS (Content Directory Service)

Without relying on the structure of the public directory in which contents are stored, a class structure, clustered based on media class and meta data, is provided to classify and expose contents.

AutoSync

When content is added/changed/deleted on the local file system, its meta data is retrieved automatically. Then the content list and meta data in the CDS layer are updated and the NOTIFY message is sent to UPnP Control Point devices.

Content Distribution

Streaming server feature supporting HTTP 1.1 is optimized for multimedia content distribution and the features in DLNA Guidelines. It also provides JPEG data transcoding feature and seek feature that supports Time-Based Seek and Byte-Range Seek for each video/audio format.

H T T P Server

HTTP server that streams HTML content is incorporated separately from streaming server for multimedia content.

D L N A Upload

DiXiM Media Server works as the upload destination for Upload System Usage in DLNA Guidelines, with its support for Create AnyContainer Operation and other optional operations, such as OCM:Upload Content, OCM:Create Child Container, OCM:Destroy Item, and OCM: upload content with OCM:destroy item.
