A display device such as a TV has both HDMI and IP network interfaces and uses the HDMI interface to exchange IP network parameters with an audio video application module (AVAM) upon HDMI connection. In this way, an IP-based peer-to-peer or client-server network connection can be automatically established to promote faster communication when sharing and executing applications between the devices than is typically available over the CEC link of HDMI.

A display device receive icon or application information from an audio visual application module (AVAM) and presents, on the native UI of the display, a selectable AVAM icon according to the information from the AVAM. The AVAM icon is associated with an application on the AVAM. Display input is automatically switched to the AVAM responsive to selection of the icon from the native UI using the display RC, at which point a non-native UI received from AVAM is presented for navigation using the display RC. Input commands are relayed to the AVAM.
