Command and control architecture for a video decoder and an audio decoder

摘要

A method and apparatus for using an interface and concomitant communication protocol to allow a video decoder to communicate with an audio decoder. More specifically, an interface structure having a status interface line and at least two data interface lines are employed between a video decoder and an audio decoder. The interface structure allows a communication protocol to effect communication of control information and data transmission, e.g., audio and timing data.
