VIDEO MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL IN HOME MULTIMEDIA NETWORK

摘要

A system may include a video link and a hybrid link that connects a transmitting device to the receiving device, and at least one intermediate hop between the transmitting device and the receiving device. The intermediate hop may be configured to relay video content from the video source to the video sink through the hybrid link using one or more data relay modes. The hybrid link may be configured to perform hybrid link control signaling (HLCS) to manage a physical layer of the hybrid link. The video link between the video source and the video sink may be configured to transmit a video stream the from video source to the video sink over one or more video lanes. A video link training may be implemented for the video link and the hybrid link.
