Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe the current state of convergence of different kinds of networks in the home environment. In such a realm the 1394IEEE Protocol displays itself as the best player between other different technologies. A description of this high-speed protocol is provided. Finally, in this paper we suggest a prototype for multichannel audio distribution using IEEE 1394 and describe the development of the prototype elements.
