Claim:
1. A transmit connectivity device, comprising: a first high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) port; signal processing circuitry configured to receive a media signal from at least one source device coupled to the first HDMI port and to convert the media signal to a converged media signal based on a converged signal specification; a multi-position multi-contact port having a first plurality of contacts coupled to the signal processing circuitry to transmit the converged media signal to at least one sink device, the multi-position multi-contact port comprising an RJ45 port; a second HDMI port having a second plurality of contacts, individual ones of a subset of the second plurality of contacts of the second HDMI port being directly electrically coupled to individual ones of the first plurality of contacts of the multi-position multi-contact port; a fourth contact of nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to a first contact of eight contacts of the RJ45 port; a sixth contact of the nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to a second contact of the eight contacts of the RJ45 port; a first contact of the nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to a third contact of the eight contacts of the RJ45 port; a ninth contact of the nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to a forth contact of the eight contacts of the RJ45 port; a seventh contact of the nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to a fifth contact of the eight contacts of the RJ45 port; a third contact of the nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to a sixth contact of the eight contacts of the RJ45 port; a tenth contact of the nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to a seventh contact of the eight contacts of the RJ45 port; and a twelfth contact of the nineteen contacts of the HDMI port being coupled to an eighth contact of the eight contacts of the RJ45 port.
