Claim Text:
1. A network media adapter comprising: a plurality of peripheral interfaces configured to be connected to connectors of a plurality of audio/video (“A/V”) sources and sinks to respectively receive media data from the A/V sources, and to transmit media data to the A/V sinks; a plurality of components coupled with at least some of the peripheral interfaces, at least a first subset of the plurality of components configured to syntonize or synchronize local media clocks of the A/V sources and sinks to ensure media data integrity affiliated with a protocol of a media network over which the media data is transported by generating a local media clock for media transmitted by the A/V sources based on one or more timestamps from incoming media streams transmitted by the A/V sources, the one or more timestamps being included in the incoming media streams and the incoming media streams also including at least A/V media data, and at least a second subset of the plurality of components including a classifier for routing incoming media data to one or more selected components of the plurality of components based on a traffic type of the incoming media data, the classifier routing incoming media data of a first type to a first component of the plurality of components and the classifier routing incoming media data of a second type to a second component of the plurality of components, the first component being different from the second component; and a quality of service (QoS)-compliant media interface connectable to the media network and through which to send and receive processed A/V media data to and from the media network according to the protocol.
