  • SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONNECTING MULTIPLE AUDIO/VIDEO SOURCES TO AN AUDIO/VIDEO SINK
    Publication number: 20080168519
    Abstract: An audio/video switching system is described that selectively enables multiple heterogeneous audio/video sources to transmit data to a single audio/video sink such as a display or audio/video repeater. The audio/video switching system supports format conversion to enable, for example, multiple different audio/video formats to be transmitted to the audio/video sink using a single link. In some implementations, the single link is a high-bandwidth, high-quality wireless link for carrying high definition and standard definition audio/video signals. Various home theater systems that include such an audio/video switching system are also described herein.
