An electronic communication system, electronic equipment for it, a repeater, a machine-readable medium and a method for controlling communication between a computer control system and a repeater control system

摘要

An electronic equipment communications system consists of electronic equipment and at least one or more control terminals and external storage devices connected via a repeater. Communications between the repeater and electronic equipment is performed by an external storage device communications system that connects the entertainment system to external storage devices connected to the external storage device connectors of the repeater, and control signals output from the electronic equipment are input to the repeater via this external storage device communications system. The data rate of the external storage device communications system is higher than that of the control terminal communications system, so high-speed switching of the repeater can be implemented by control signal from the electronic equipment.
