AV/C (Audio Video Control)

AV/C (Audio Video Control) is a communication protocol that allows various electronic devices, like DVD players, VCRs, and amplifiers, to connect and work together smoothly. It enables these devices to send and receive commands—such as play, pause, or stop—over a single cable, typically using the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) connection. This coordination simplifies controlling multiple devices from one remote or interface, creating an integrated home entertainment experience. In essence, AV/C ensures different audio and video equipment can communicate and operate cohesively within a system.
