TargetWeb™ - Embedded Media Server

TargetWeb™ includes a high-performance embedded media server which supports Universal Plug and Play Audio Visual (UPnP A/V) for serving media. Using TargetFFS, directories and media files are browsable within UPnP A/V renderers as well as control points. UPnP A/V is the core of Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) and provides network file and directory access to embedded file systems.

Benefits:

  • Media Server configures on Any Network with Zero Configuration
  • UPnP design supports simple RPC interface for customer devices using XML
  • Detailed XML and SOAP API for custom Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
  • Update Audio Visual Library on Media Server Via FTP
  • Supports any POSIX Compatible File System such as fixed disks
  • Optimized with TargetFFS and TargetTCP
  • Uses TargetTCP's Zero-Copy API for High Performance
  • Accessible Via Ethernet, Serial, Wi-Fi, etc.
  • Integrated with TargetTools™
  • Royalty-Free, Source Code Provided

Features include:

  • Compliant with UPnP version 1.0 and UPnP A/V MediaServer version 1.

  • Allows directory structure and media file access to UPnP Control Points and UPnP Rederers

  • UPnP presentation HTML page served with TargetWeb™ for dynamic content.

  • Simple UPnP mechanism of XML defined Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) gives clean network interface to embedded devices and applications. The XML and SOAP API can also be used directly for custom RPC functionality.

  • Tightly integrated with TargetTCP™, Blunk Microsystems' embedded TCP/IP protocol stack. Uses TargetTCP's zero-copy and event callback interfaces for high performance.

  • Easy to configure and use. The user specifies (1) the web server's home directory, (2) the media server's home directory and (3) the file containing the presentation page. The media files and directories can be updated using the built-in FTP server.

  • TargetWeb uses POSIX API to access the underlying file system.  Use with TargetFFS™, Blunk Microsystems' industry-leading embedded flash file system for operation in environments where temperature, shock, or power restrictions prohibit use of a hard disk.

  • Alternatively, can be used in conjunction with disk based or any other available file system.

  • Shipped with a sample application with presentation page that can be used as the starting point for a media server or more general embedded UPnP device.

  • Source code is 100% ANSI C and has been tested using the gcc and CodeWarrior ANSI C compilers.

  • Developed using TargetOS™, Blunk Microsystems' real-time operating system. TargetTCP, TargetWeb, and the flash file systems are easily ported to other real-time kernels or to polling environments that do not use a kernel.

  • Royalty-free. Includes source code, user's manual, sample applications, and one year of technical support.
