Printer with hardware and software interfaces for media devices
First Claim
1. A system for printing time-based media, the system comprising:
- an interface for receiving the time-based media data from a media source;
a multimedia processing system coupled to the interface to receive the time-based media, the multimedia processing system determining an electronic representation of the time-based media; and
a first output device in communication with the multimedia processing system to receive the electronic representation, the first output device producing a corresponding electronic output from the electronic representation of the time-based media.

Abstract
A printing system enables the printing of multimedia received from a media source that is communicatively coupled to the printer. Based on the received multimedia data, the printing system produces a paper or other printed output as well as a related electronic output. Together, the printed and electronic outputs provide a representation of the multimedia. The printer is also capable of communicating and controlling the functionality of the media source. Depending on the desired application for the printer, the printer may include any combination of mechanisms for receiving media data, printing the printed output, and producing the electronic output.
