Abstract: A master transmitter distributes a plurality of audio channels to one or more expansion receivers as a multiplexed audio stream. Control information is also transmitted between the master transmitter and the expansion receivers. Both the control information and the multiplexed audio stream are transmitted on the same cable allowing for reduced clutter and cheaper material and installation costs.
Abstract translation: 主发射机将多个音频信道分配给一个或多个扩展接收机作为多路复用音频流。 控制信息也在主发送器和扩展接收器之间传输。 控制信息和多路复用的音频流都在相同的电缆上传输,允许减少杂波和更便宜的材料和安装成本。

Abstract: Described herein is a compact combined active and passive cooling system to cool electronic audio-video circuitry, wherein all of the AV circuitry and cooling system fits within an enclosure that can be installed in a standard wall gang-box located in interior walls of structures. The combined active and passive cooling system uses convection, conduction, and radiation in active and passive cooling modes to dissipate heat generated by the AV circuitry into the room in which the gang box is located, and further uses the wall plate surface to dissipate heat into the room.
