The new HAVi (Home Audio/Video Interoperability) standard
will allow virtually any digital consumer electronics
device or home appliance to communicate, supporting
applications ranging from digital video to shared broadband
Web access. HAVi Example by Example is the first practical,
hands-on guide to HAVi. In this book, two leading Sony
implementers and HAVi standards community participants
review every key element of the HAVi specification,
providing extensive sample Java code and in-depth insight
into HAVi's applications and planned evolution.
This book introduces the HAVi software architecture,
explains the concept of HAVi services, and shows how HAVi
can be used to build portable, distributed applications
optimized for a networked home environment. The book
contains extensive Java sample code. It goes far beyond the
specification, demonstrating both first-generation and
future HAVi applications, and showing how HAVi can operate
over high-speed IEEE 1394 (FireWire™)
connections.
For all software designers and developers interested in
building applications for new consumer-electronics devices
such as DTVs and digital recorders.
