METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING ETHERNET DATA THROUGH AUDIO/VIDEO INTERFACE

摘要

Provided are methods and apparatuses for transmitting and receiving data between a device of an audio/video (AV) network and a device of an Ethernet network by using correspondence between an AV network address and a medium access control (MAC) address. A method of transmitting data to a second device by using a first device includes: generating a transmission unit of a second type network in which a second type network address of the second device is set as a destination address; generating a transmission unit of a first type network including the generated transmission unit of the second type network by setting a first type network address of a third device, corresponding to the second type network address of the second device, as a destination address; and transmitting the generated transmission unit of the first type network to the third device.
