摘要： The invention relates to a method for switching a multimedia source and multimedia sink from an operating mode to a standby mode, and a method for switching a multimedia source and multimedia sink from a standby mode to an operating mode. When the consumer device comprises two distributed boxes, such as a TV in which the display (multimedia sink) is separated from the processing unit (multimedia source) via a cable, then meeting the green rules for standby power becomes more complicated. The power consumption of processing unit and display unit should be minimal in standby mode. The methods of the invention provide for synchronizing the power states of both units, such that only the relevant parts remain active. The method is applicable on configurations where a DisplayPort link is used between a multimedia source, such as a set-top box, and a multimedia sink, such as a display. The invention provides a reduction in overall power consumption, while still complying with the Display-Port configuration and operation standard. In an embodiment of the invention, the source and sink are configured to allow communication of standby and wake-up requests/commands when the transmitter and receiver for the auxiliary channel are powered down. The invention also provides embodiments where the switching to and from standby of the source is triggered by user

摘要翻译： 本发明涉及一种将多媒体源和多媒体接收器从操作模式切换到待机模式的方法，以及用于将多媒体源和多媒体接收器从待机模式切换到操作模式的方法。 当消费者设备包括诸如通过电缆将显示器（多媒体接收器）与处理单元（多媒体源）分离的TV的两个分布式盒子时，满足待机功率的绿色规则变得更加复杂。 处理单元和显示单元的功耗在待机模式下应为最小。 本发明的方法提供了两个单元的功率状态的同步，使得只有相关部分保持活动。 该方法适用于在诸如机顶盒的多媒体源和诸如显示器的多媒体接收器之间使用DisplayPort链路的配置。 本发明在仍然符合Display-Port配置和操作标准的同时，降低了整体功耗。 在本发明的一个实施例中，源和宿被配置为当辅助信道的发射机和接收机断电时允许通信待机和唤醒请求/命令。 本发明还提供了其中切换到来自待机的源是由用户触发的实施例
