CEA and Home Entertainment Networking Filling in the Gaps

Bill Rose

Entertainment networks present more challenges than do data networks, and consumers have higher expectations for them as well. Many of the issues have been solved but there is more to do to complete the job. CEA's Home Networking Committee (R7) is defining, among other things, Remote User Interfaces and how they allow consumers to access content on remote devices using IP over Ethernet and 1394, how Electronic Program Guide (EPG) metadata will be delivered, and how to connect UPnP devices on an Ethernet network to legacy 1394 devices. This paper will explain what CEA is doing to fill in the gaps to enable networked A/V products to enter the living room and connect to others throughout the home and beyond.
