<p>A system and method for allowing remote control of an isochronous device. The system comprises: (1) first and second isochronous devices, (2) a packet-based signalling channel coupling the first and second isochronous devices and allowing communication of signalling messages between the first and second isochronous devices, the first isochronous device capable of initiating a request to the second isochronous device to transfer multimedia information from the second isochronous device to the first isochronous device and (3) an isochronous user information path established by the second isochronous device in response to initiation of the request, the isochronous user information path coupling the first and second isochronous devices for transfer of the multimedia information, the first isochronous device thereby effecting remote control of the second isochronous device. The present invention further introduces a system for adapting a data stream received into a computer from an isochronous user information path for use by a video file viewing application, such as an MPEG video viewer.</p> |
