Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of transporting video and audio data. The method includes receiving, by a first transmitter (CE transmitter, for example), a video data stream and an audio data stream. The first transmitter generates a composite data stream from the audio data stream and the video data stream. The first transmitter communicates the composite data stream to a second transmitter (DVI 1.0 transmitter, for example), which in turn transmits the composite data stream to a remote receiver.
