Nero has just released the Nero 2016, a software suite that
gives multimedia fans an advanced all-in-one solution for managing, streaming, playing, editing, ripping copying, burning and sharing files.
The Nero 2016 Classic and Nero 2016 Platinum suites provide full support for Windows 10 and introduce over 20 new features which revolve around multimedia streaming functions, the integration of smartphones, tablets and smart TVs, as well as auto-optimized picture and sound quality, alongside many usability improvements and increased performance.
Significant improvements have been made in streaming from and to any DLNA/ UPnP-capable device.
New App: Nero Streaming Player Connects Smartphone, Tablet, Smart TV and PC
The Nero Streaming Player is a new player app for smartphone and tablet that plays slideshows, videos and music on a mobile device directly to a smart TV in the living room. At the same time, it serves as a remote control, browser and playback device for the Nero MediaHome media server. The browsed content can then be sent directly to a smart TV. The new iOS and Android app thus combines the functionality of a PC media server, with the browsing convenience of mobile devices and the high picture quality of large smart TVs.
