Abstract

A method for the common transmission of digital source and control data between data sources and sinks connected through 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, at least one bit position is reserved for the transmission of unformatted data. The unformatted data are allocated bitwise to the reserved bit positions of successive bit groups and are associated with a certain data source/data sink as a function of the control data.
