Discover audio files stored on any UPnP/DLNA compatible device on your home network, and stream, share or playback to any connected speaker system. Check out our Arkuda Concert package which was developed for audio systems, and our MyAudioStream app in the App Store and Google Play which was developed from it.

Introduction
Developers of home electronic systems today need to develop their skills in networking and
software development to ensure compatibility and inter-operability with home networks and
UPnP/DLNA devices.
With our in-depth knowledge of UPnP/DLNA protocols
and our experience in porting them to many different target embedded systems, Arkuda
Digital can help you.
3. Arkuda Digital - professional UPnP/DLNA applications
We offer OEM & ODM manufacturers the Arkuda Concert SDK to develop UPnP/DLNA compliant
applications for new and existing audio products.
The innovative architecture of UPnP/DLNA SDKs offers the best environment to integrate the
technology into new products.
Arkuda has re-developed 98 % of the networking software as a custom made package, where the
integration layer sits on top of the processing engine and offers an efficient and reliable tool for porting
to any platform.
Using this SDK, Arkuda has already developed the MyAudioStream application which is available for
end-user purchase in the App Store.

In addition to the SDK option, Arkuda can offer development services & project management for audio
systems beyond the core UPnP/DLNA products.
On request, Arkuda can take care of the whole development process, including hardware design and
integration.
Alternatively Arkuda can license the complete MyAudioStream app, re-skinned to your brand
requirements, at a very reasonable up-front cost.

UPnP/DLNA software integration
• adds music sharing/streaming functionality to
any audio system
IOS and Android mobile app
• discovers, selects and controls any music file
stored on any device
• streams music to any UPnP/DLNA audio system
• can be customized to customer design and/or
new applications

6. Arkuda Digital - professional UPnP/DLNA applications
For simultaneous playback on networked loudspeakers,
Arkuda can integrate a P2P software module, which
uses multicast technology together with our timeserver.
Each network device needs to install both DMR and
DMS. With this solution, latency is not detectable by
the listener.
Compatibility with Apple’s Airplay is only permissible if
the OEM or ODM has licensed the technology from
Apple.
Arkuda has done a technical study on how to integrate
with Apple iTunes, and can provide a project proposal
on request.

Start a project 7 steps
1. Initial preparation - Arkuda needs to understand what it will take to port
the UPnP/DLNA software on your board/reference platform.
●Do you have Linux on the board? (this makes integration very fast)
●If you use other OS, which one?
●Can you provide a tool chain for the software development?
●Can you provide ( when we start the project) 3 development boards?
●Do you have JTAG for the board?
2. Technical meeting where all relevant points will be discussed.
