Abstract

The 1394-to-coax bridge described here has been developed to enable digital multimedia home networks using the existing coax infrastructures as backbone for networking HANA (high-definition audio-video network alliance) devices as well as legacy IEEE 1394 (AV/C) digital multimedia devices which are connected to different 1394 clusters widespread over the consumer\´s home. The implementation is based in the future standard "Networking IEEE 1394 Clusters via UWB over coaxial cable" , currently in development. One of our main goals was to provide a platform which verifies this standard.
