What is HomePlug AV?
HomePlug AV is the next generation of powerline technology. Key members of the HomePlug Alliance, which includes consumer electronics companies and service providers, are driving the HomePlug AV standard. HomePlug AV is built from the ground up to support entertainment applications, such as HDTV and Home Theater. HomePlug AV will provide a convenient and cost effective method of distributing HDTV in the home without new wires. The objectives for the HomePlug AV specification include providing the best solution for high quality video distribution, with secure connectivity with built-in Quality-of-Service (QoS), to ensure a great customer experience at a price that is competitive with other home networking alternatives. HomePlug AV will coexist with HomePlug 1.0.
