PanelLink / HDCP Transmitters
Silicon Image introduces a new series of PanelLink
®
transmitters that bring advanced multimedia
functionality to PC products. Leveraging PanelLink technology, these transmitters interface
seamlessly to a variety of PC graphics sources to support DVI and HDMI
™
displays with
resolutions up to UXGA or 1080p. Built into the transmitters, the High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP) engine secures the digital link for transmission of valuable
HD video and even audio when used with the SiI 1390
™
and SiI 1930
™
’s HDMI output. These
transmitters are preprogrammed with unique HDCP keys, providing the highest level of
security while reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
The new SiI 1390 and SiI 1368
™
transmitters provide a fully compliant 25-165 MHz HDMI
and DVI HDCP output respectively. Each product accepts the full operating range of SDVO
(1-2 GHz) on the input port with a robust, highly jitter-tolerant implementation exceeding the
requirements of the Intel SDVO 1.0 specification. As an HDMI transmitter, the SiI 1390
supports a variety of audio interfaces including I
2
S, S/PDIF, or the Intel HD-Audio interface to
enable broad hardware compatibility. When using the high-resolution HD-Audio port, this chip
is capable of supporting the DVD Audio standard and other digital audio formats consisting
of up to 8 channels at 192 kHz. To improve manufacturers’ time-to-market, the SiI 1390 and
SiI 1368 are pin-compatible with the previous generation SiI 1364 DVI transmitter in a 64-pin
TQFP package with EPad.
The SiI 1930 transmitter is designed to generate a fully compliant 25-165 MHz HDMI output.
The SiI 1930 interfaces to a variety of industry-leading GPUs with integrated TMDS
®
transmitters by accepting a TMDS input. The SiI 1930 also has a variety of audio interface ports
(I
2
S, S/PDIF, or HD-Audio), and can support the DVD Audio standard and other digital audio
formats consisting of up to 8 channels at 192 kHz when using the HD-Audio port.
This latest family of PanelLink transmitters brings a comprehensive suite of solutions to enable
PC platforms to offer new levels of multimedia performance with access to premium HD
video and audio content. Each product is HDCP 1.1-compliant and supports repeaters by
implementing on-chip Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) logic and provides convenient and
secure on-chip, preprogrammed HDCP keys.
