PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data interface for transferring digital data between a host and a client over a communication path by using packet structures linked together to form a communication protocol for communicating a pre-selected set of digital control data and digital presentation data.SOLUTION: A signal protocol is used by link controllers configured to generate, transmit, and receive packets forming the communications protocol, and to form digital data into one or more types of data packets, with at least one residing in the host device and being coupled to the client through the communications path. The interface provides a cost-effective, low-power, bi-directional, high-speed data transfer mechanism over a short-range "serial" type data link. |
