Objectives of HomePlug AV
• To be the network of choice for distribution of data and multi-stream entertainment including HDTV, SDTV, and true audiophile audio throughout the home
• To provide the best connectivity at the highest QoS of the home networking technologies competing for these applications
• To provide this capability at a cost that is competitive with or better than any competing technology
• These objectives are a starting point
• We will be soliciting input from all HomePlug members
17 June 2003 26
HomePlug AV’s Targeted Applications
• Simultaneously distribute multiple high quality Consumer AV signals including
– STBs (cable or satellite Set Top Boxes), PVRs (TIVO etc.)
– DVD players (Digital Video Disks)
– HDTVs (High Definition), as well as Standard TV
– High Resolution Monitors
– Audiophile quality speakers, CD players, etc.
• HomePlug V1 applications
– PC Networking, Telephony, Gaming, MP3/CD Audio and Security

Why use HomePlug AV?
• Performance– Larger & more reliable coverage than wireless– More points of access than phone or cable
• Inexpensive– Lower inherent costs than wireless– Less expense than running new wires for Cable or Ethernet
• Easy to use– One plug can do it all - power and communication– Designed for home AV applications - designed in, not added on– Easy to set up
