Abstract: An audio/video (A/V) component networking system comprises a source component, a presentation device, and a sink component. The sink component is adapted to control presentation of A/V program data received from the source component on the presentation device. The sink component is also adapted to transmit a command to the source component to control display of an A/V menu data stream on the presentation device.

Abstract: An audio/video (A/V) component networking system comprises a plurality of source components each adapted to provide A/V program data. The system also comprises a presentation device adapted to present A/V program data to a user. The system further comprises a sink component communicatively coupled to each of the source components. The sink component is adapted to present to the user an aggregated listing of the A/V program data available from each of the plurality of source components to enable the user to select particular A/V program data from at least one of the plurality of source components for presentation on the presentation device.
