该文档描述了整个UPnP AV架构，它为 UPnP AV设备和服务模板。AV架构定义了通用的 UPnP控制点和UPnP AV设备之间的交互。它独立于任何 特定的设备类型、内容格式和传输协议。它支持多种设备 例如电视、录像机、CD/DVD播放器/自动唱机、机顶盒、立体声系统、MP3播放器、， 静止图像照相机、摄像机、电子相框（EPF）和个人电脑。 AV 架构允许设备支持不同类型的娱乐内容格式 （如MPEG2、MPEG4、JPEG、MP3、Windows Media Architecture（WMA）、位图（BMP）， NTSC、PAL、ATSC等）和多种传输协议（如IEC-61883/IEEE- 1394、HTTP GET、RTP、HTTP PUT/POST、TCP/IP等）。以下条款描述了 AV架构，以及各种UPnP AV设备和服务如何协同工作以实现 各种最终用户场景。 购买本文件时可获得的所有当前修订均包含在购买本文件中。

This document describes the overall UPnP AV Architecture, which forms the foundation for the UPnP AV Device and Service templates. The AV Architecture defines the general interaction between UPnP control points and UPnP AV devices. It is independent of any particular device type, content format, and transfer protocol. It supports a variety of devices such as TVs, VCRs, CD/DVD players/jukeboxes, settop boxes, stereos systems, MP3 players, still-image cameras, camcorders, electronic picture frames (EPFs), and the PC. The AV Architecture allows devices to support different types of formats for the entertainment content (such as MPEG2, MPEG4, JPEG, MP3, Windows Media Architecture (WMA), bitmaps (BMP), NTSC, PAL, ATSC, etc.) and multiple types of transfer protocols (such as IEC-61883/IEEE- 1394, HTTP GET, RTP, HTTP PUT/POST, TCP/IP, etc.). The following clauses describe the AV Architecture and how the various UPnP AV devices and services work together to enable various end-user scenarios.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
