Abstract

The invention discloses an apparatus, method and system for connecting High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) devices. A loopback device connects between a first source device and a sink device on a first connection; a second source device connects to the sink device on a second connection. The loopback device manages the first connection, passes transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS) or fixed-rate link (FRL) signals through to the sink device, and outputs audio received from the sink device on the audio return channel (ARC) or enhanced audio return channel (eARC). In this manner, audio that originates from any source device may be output without requiring a direct connection to the loopback device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 608,827 and European Patent Application No. 17209739.6, both filed December 21, 2017, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] The present invention relates to audio / visual systems, and in particular to interconnecting audio / video source devices, display devices and speakers. [0004] Unless otherwise indicated herein, the approaches described in this section are not prior art to the claims in this application and are not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section. [0005] The traditional audio / video setup is as follows. An audio / video receiver (known as an AVR or simply a receiver) will have a device such as a first source device (e.g. a set-top box) and a second source device (e.g. a Blu-ray player) to a sink device (eg, a display device such as a high-definition television (HDTV)...
