stands for ome udio and ideo nterface. This is an emerging standard for possibly connecting home audio and video products and components in a "plug-and-play" fashion that supports interoperability. back to the previous page
This is a standard for 1394 bus audio and video devices. It is software that is required for the units to talk to each other. HAVi allows plug-and-play recognition of devices, interoperability, and brand independence.
A FireWire-based technology for controlling various components of a home-theater system as a single unit with one remote control. This "interoperability" is possible because the FireWire interface carries control data along with digital audio and video in the same cable.
Stands for Home Audio Video Interoperability. This is a software standard based on the IEEE 1394 connection, that allows connected devices to transmit their status and control codes to other devices. For example, a D-VHS connected to a television would send to the TV it's control codes, so the TV could control the D-VHS HD VCR, with the OSD. This is an enhancement of the basic software used in the IEEE 1394 interface.
A consumer electronics industry standard for interoperability between digital audio and video devices connected via a network in the consumer's home.
HAVi is an acronym for Home Audio Video Interoperability.
HAVi is a networking standard that uses IEEE 1394, aka Firewire, as a transport. If implemented precisely, HAVi will allow devices of different brands to connect using FireWire and interoperate by sending audio, video and control information over the network. However, 1394/HAVi is not is not even close to being a standard when it comes to home audio and video
