Abstract: Apparatus and methods for training, initializing, and managing a unidirectional, sink-driven A/V interface of a consumer electronics device. Since camera sensors do not have significant processing capability, the disclosed embodiments couple the camera sensors to a simplified source node as a camera assembly. In the described embodiments, an intelligent receiver (e.g., a master “sink” node) trains, initializes, and manages one or more relatively low complexity camera sensor modules. Various other refinements and simplifications include: (i) where link training is managed by the receiver of the link, not by the transmitter, and (ii) where training multiple links in the network is managed by a single receiver.
