ABSTRACT:
Multi-apparatus consumer electronics system provided with multiple channel for control and data signalization including qualifier bus control channel, and initiator apparatus and follower apparatus for use in such system. A consumer electronics system has plural apparatuses interconnected by a multiple channel for control and data signalization including a control channel. The control channel is a qualifier bus that in each apparatus is interfaced to a control element that in an initiator apparatus transmits a message selectively specifying a proprietary signalization interface. A follower apparatus acknowledges the message if the user signalization interfaces match. Thereupon, the system coactivates the matched interfaces in initiator and follower apparatuses. In an extended form, the apparatuses as a prerequisite try to consent about a standard protocol on a further control channel external to said multiple channel.
