<p>An interface apparatus connects between a first node (1-5) involved in a multimedia network which generally treats multimedia information including music information transferred in a generalized protocol, and a second node (6-8) involved in an musical network which specially treats music information transferred in a specialized protocol. The interface apparatus has an input device that operates when the second node (6-8) communicates with the first node (1-5) for converting the music information from the specialized protocol into the generalized protocol so that the first node (1-5) can admit the music information from the second node (6-8), and an output device that operates when the first node (1-5) communicates with the second node (6-8) for converting the music information from the generalized protocol into the specialized protocol so that the second node (6-8) can admit the music information from the first node (1-5). Typically, the input device and the output device are integrated in the first node (1-5). <IMAGE></p> |
