set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a 

digital flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single

audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements 

and requirements 

 

Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed high definition 

digital video via a single cable
