Abstract
An interconnectivity scheme for a PC Theatre system includes the use of compatible plug and display connectors on both the display and the host computer. Audio/video signals received by either the display or the computer may be processed by the computer and transmitted between these devices in a standardized signal format using the compatible connectors. The control scheme for facilitating master-slave control of the display by the computer includes the use of various standardized signals and formats as well to ensure compatibility between products manufactured by different companies.
