Digital AV convergence is real

 

The integration of your home network and Internet connection into common consumer electronic devices has begun. Electronics manufacturers are scrambling to figure out ways to utilize your broadband Internet connection and your home network. Their first step is to further digitize your Audio/Video(AV) system to deliver a content rich TV and music experience.

Digitizing your music, video and photo collection means being able to distribute access to these collections throughout your home or even across the Internet. Your media collection can become accessible from all of your home computers, from your stereo systems, from your televisions, anywhere. A connection to the Internet means being able to retrieve any song, photo or video in your collection from anywhere in the world.

On the interactive side, these components can enrich your audio and video experience by making related content available. When listening to a CD, click and info button and suddenly your TV displays a biography, discography, pictures, videos, and of course an opportunity to purchase related goods and services.

Nearly all of the major AV companies and many new ones have products in ‘concept’ stages and the market will soon be saturated with devices. Contained within this guide is a list of products that are very real, available or soon to be available.
