The High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA) was a cross-industry collaboration of members addressing the end-to-end needs of connected, HD, home entertainment products and services. The organization was formed by leading companies from the four industries most affected by the HD revolution: content providers, consumer electronics, service providers and information technology. HANA worked to create design guidelines for secure high-definition audio-video networks that would speed the creation of new, high quality, easy to use HD products. HANA membership was open to all companies involved in the digital entertainment industry. HANA was dissolved in September 2009 and the 1394 Trade Association assumed control of all HANA-generated intellectual property.
