What is the advantage to users of HAVis remote User Interface capability?
A remote User Interface enables a user to interact with an application via any HAVi device in the network that has a display. For example, a user could program the VCR in the living room from his TV in the bedroom; again, regardless of which manufacturer made either device. Another important advantage for users is that display devices need not take part in the application themselves or even be aware of the functionality behind the User Interface shown by an application. The devices simply offer their display to other applications. This allows devices from different manufacturers to access functionality that is not standardized by HAVi. This greatly improves the flexibility of HAVi, since not every application- or device-specific feature has to be standardized. Therefore, device manufacturers or independent software vendors can develop these features and bring them to market quickly and efficiently.
