Abstract
A method for common transmission of digital source and control data between data sources and sinks being connected by data lines, includes transmitting the source and control data in a format prescribing a clocked sequence of individual bit groups of equal length. In each bit group, there are one or more and in particular two control bits, which are used for the transmission of control signals. One control signal is assigned bitwise to the control bits of successive bit groups. A starting identification code which is identical for all of the control signals is provided at the beginning of each control signal.
