So it's defined as the ability of ITS systems to provide information and services to other systems and use exchanged information and services to operate together effectively. So let's take a step back here and I'm gonna build on an analogy here for the next several slides in looking back at a—how a home theater system works. I'm a tech kind of guy. I like my home theater system that I have. And so if we think about how that works, hopefully you kind of understand the basics of how theater systems work or audio-visual systems in general.

You can purchase any equipment from numerous vendors with the knowledge that the separate components will talk, if you will, to each other because they conform to communications standards. And I think of RCA cables and more—and S-video coax and more recently HDMI. So I've got kind of the picture there of the back side of my television and you can see a number of different cables in there. One HDMI. That's your high-definition interface. And then there's a number of other cables that you see there. And I've actually got some blank coaxial cables there.

So, you know, this is how these systems work. They're interoperability in that they can work with different components. The idea being that is with audio-visual standards, which have been around for decades, if you are, for example, old enough to have hooked up a record turntable up to this system—of which I count myself and I still have a turntable on my systems or perhaps even a reel-to-reel tape. Those were devices you hooked up previously
