Synopsis

HAVi, which stands for Home Audio Video, is a new standard that will allow software programmers to develop applications for future home consumer electronics products. HAVi, will be the platform for all consumer electronics development for the future. This book is designed to provide the software developer with a practical, "by example" approach to learning how to program within the HAVi environment. It contains less theory and more application.

From the Back Cover

The first hands-on introduction to HAVi ― the new Java-based home entertainment standard.

• HAVi software architecture and HAVi services
• The future of HAVi: from digital VCRs to shared broadband Web access
• Creating portable, distributed applications for networked home environments
• Running HAVi over high-speed IEEE 1394 (i.Link/FireWire) connections
• Detailed HAVi API descriptions

HAVi Example by Example is the first practical, hands-on guide to HAVi (Home Audio/Video Interoperability) ― the breakthrough technology that enables digital consumer electronics devices and home appliances to communicate.

In this book, two leading Sony implementers and HAVi designers review key elements of the HAVi 1.10 specification, providing extensive sample Java code and in-depth insight into HAVi's applications and planned evolution.
