Abstract
The present invention provides a bridge device which allows for communication between two external devices (e.g. an initiating device and a control device) which use different first and second data encoding schemes, without the need to modify either of the devices. In particular, the bridge device has two communication interfaces which can communicate with the respective external devices, and a processor which can translate data from the first data encoding scheme to the second data encoding scheme, and vice versa.
