This document describes AV/C commands for management of asynchronous serial bus connections. An asynchronous data-transfer service efficiently transfers data between simple Serial Bus compliant devices.

The scope and purpose of this activity are summarized below:

Scope. The definition of AV/C commands for management of asynchronous connections, where management includes establishing, breaking, and monitoring the connection, and the definition of existing AV/C commands extension for the support of asynchronous connections.

The AV/C management commands assume that the controller, producer, and consumer are attached to the same bus.

Purpose. To provide mechanisms for existing AV/C devices and controllers to easily manage asynchronous connection services.
