Abstract
A multimedia system and a protocol converter are provided. The multimedia system includes a sink device, e.g., a television, various audiovisual devices connected to the sink device, and the protocol converter. The protocol converter is connected to the sink device, and processes the audio and video signals inputted from a specific audiovisual source and outputted to the sink device to be played. The audio signals can be processed and played by an audio playback device directly connected with the protocol converter. Furthermore, the protocol converter can process the audio signals being returned from the sink device of the multimedia system via an audio return channel or an enhanced audio return channel. Finally, the received audio signals are converted and outputted to one of various audio output interfaces supported by the protocol converter.
