Abstract
A method for the processing of control signals within an audiovisual network comprises at least one element (20) liable to send a digital command signal to at least one peripheral (181, 182), called an analog peripheral, designed to receive analog commands. The processing method implements, in a conversion device (241, 242), a conversion (92) of the digital command signal into at least one of the analog commands, said conversion being selectively configured as a function of said peripheral.
Claims39
A method for the processing of command signals within an audiovisual network comprising at least one element liable to send a digital command signal to at least one peripheral, called an analog peripheral, designed to receive analog commands, wherein the method implements, in a conversion device, a conversion of said digital command signal into at least one of said analog commands, said conversion being selectively configured as a function of said peripheral.
A device for the processing of command signals within an audiovisual network comprising at least one element of said network liable to send a digital command signal to at least one peripheral, called an analog peripheral, designed to receive analog commands, wherein the device comprises means for the conversion of said digital command signal into at least one of said analog commands, the conversion being selectively configured as function of said peripheral.
An audiovisual communications network comprising:
- at least one peripheral, called an analog peripheral, designed to receive analog commands;
- at least one element liable to send a digital command signal to said analog peripheral;
- and
- at least one command signals processing device comprising means for the conversion of said digital command signal into at least one of said analog commands, said conversion being selectively configured as a function of said peripheral.
A computer program product comprising program elements, recorded on a carrier readable by at least one microprocessor designed to be implemented in a device for the processing of command signals within an audiovisual network comprising at least one element liable to send a digital command signal to at least one peripheral designed to receive analog commands, wherein said program elements control said microprocessor or microprocessors so that, in said processing device, they carry out a conversion of said digital command signals into at least one of said analog commands, the conversion being selectively configured as a function of said peripheral.
