Interface Device
First Claim
1. An interface for interfacing a digital device (unit) for transmitting and/or receiving a digital stream to a computer, the interface comprising:
- a digital stream transmitter/receiver for transmitting digitally streamed content and/or receiving digitally streamed content to/from the digital device;
a computer bus interface for receiving/providing data to/from a computer bus of a computer for use by the computer and/or as provided by the computer; and
a data converter for converting data received by the digital stream receiver into data useable by the computer when provided to the computer bus and/or for converting data received by the computer bus interface into digitally streamed data for transmission by the digital stream transmitter.

Abstract
An interface (4) between a digital device (6) for transmitting and/or receiving a digital stream and a computer (2) comprises a digital stream transmitter/receiver (transceiver) (20), a computer bus interface (12) and a data converter (14, 16 & 18). The digital transceiver transmits digitally streamed content and/or receives digitally streamed content to/from the digital device. The computer bus interface receives/provides data to/from a computer bus of a computer for use by the computer and/or as provided by the computer. The data converter converts data received by the digital stream receiver into data useable by the computer from the computer bus and/or converts data received by the computer bus interface into digitally streamed data for transmission by the digital stream transmitter.
