Consumer Met Automotive at 1. Elektronik automotive Congress

The MOST Cooperation presented the paper "Seamless Integration of Consumer Electronics in MOST HD Audio/Video Networks" on May 19, 2009, at the 1. Elektronik automotive Congress in Munich, Germany. Harald Schöpp explained at 11.45 - 12.15 the trend as consumers demand more digital connectivity in their vehicles, car designers are implementing systems that efficiently distribute audio, video and other content in the vehicle. These requirements have led to the design of a future-proof system and networking architecture in a car which is able to cope with the different development time frames in the consumer and the automotive worlds. While existing implementations focused mainly on audio and standard definition video, MOST now provides distributed network protocols for multimedia High Definition (HD) Audio/Video Networking.
