Claim 12:
13. A method of routing selected video streams received from digital media sources to selected digital display devices in an audio video receiver (AVR) console, comprising the steps of:
(a) monitoring a plurality of input-side transceiver devices on one or more circuit boards in the AVR console for hot plug events at input connections of the AVR console to identify digital media sources connected to the AVR console;
(b) monitoring a plurality of output-side transceiver devices on the one or more circuit boards in the AVR console for hot plug events at output connections of the AVR console to identify display devices connected to the AVR console;
(c) displaying information on the source devices and the display devices connected to the AVR console to a user through a user interface;
(d) receiving through the user interface a selection by the user to display a video stream from a selected digital media source on a selected display device;
(e) enabling an input of an input-side transceiver in the AVR console associated with the selected source device to receive the video stream from the selected source using a controller on the one or more circuit boards, and enabling an output of the input-side transceiver to transmit the video stream to an output-side transceiver in the AVR console associated with the selected display device using the controller; and
(f) enabling an input of the output-side transceiver to receive the video stream from the input-side transceiver using the controller, and enabling an output of the output-side transceiver to relay the video stream to an output connection of the AVR console associated with the selected display device for transmission to the selected display device using the controller,
wherein each of the plurality of input-side transceiver devices and each of the plurality of output-side transceiver devices is an active transceiver device.
