Multimedia interface device for processing information and transferring it via a communication network, used in domestic networks having video, text and audio devices

摘要

The device includes first and second connection units to which respectively first and second transmission devices are connected by the intermediary of first and second communication links conforming respectively to a first and second protocol. There are connection units with a single device separated by the intermediary of a single cable constituted by a cable pair, the separating device called the communication device has communication units between two ports. There is a unit for mixing the information transmitted by the transmission device along a third protocol different from the first and second protocols. There is also a unit for transferring the mixed information on the, or the cable pairs towards the switching device to which it is connected.
