The ability to share audio video recordings across different devices in a
home is becoming increasingly important to consumers. Consumers want
to edit their photos and home videos on their computers and then have the
ability to view them on a large screen TV in a different room.
Similarly, a person might want to watch a recording of a football game that
is stored on a PVR in one room, while working at a computer in a different
room.
The ability to network audio video devices in different locations
requires special networking capabilities. USB ports are too slow for
high-quality digital recordings. Manufacturers are therefore looking
for better networking options.
