• Wireless media
boxes & adapters
Key Features
inputs
• 36-bit Deep Color
at 1080p/60Hz
• MHL ready
• Supports Dolby
TrueHD & DTS-HD
high-bit-rate loss-
less audio formats
• Full HDCP repeater
• Built-in consumer
electronics control
with CEC – API
• Four EDIDs for the
four HDMI ports
Receivers. The SiI9233 supports Silicon Image’s Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) tech-
nology that enables mobile devices such as portable media players, mobile phones and
digital cameras to connect to A/V Receivers for distribution of their HD content.
The SiI9233 supports up to 36-bit color depth
at 1080p/60Hz and x.v.Color that allows for the
display of roughly 1.8 times the color range
allowed by present industry standards. The
SiI9233 supports HD lossless audio, enabling
A/V receivers to decode next generation com-
pressed lossless audio formats such as Dolby®
True HD and DTS-HD™. Super Audio CD,
DVD Audio and multi-channel audio at 192kHz
and stereo audio are also supported.
The SiI9233 includes a receiver programming
interface that significantly reduces the software
overhead required to control the receiver.
The SiI9233 integrates non-volatile memory
based extended display identification data
(EDID) that is loaded during power-up or ini-
tialization into four separate EDID RAMs. The
embedded EDIDs simplify the architecture,
reduce BOM cost and save PCB real-estate.
The SiI9233 integrated HDMI compliant
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) hardware
and API help reduce BOM cost and develop-
ment time. The CEC I/O eliminates the need for
additional external components and the CEC
API manages communication of all CEC com-
mands and signalling, significantly lowering sys-
tem-level control by the system microcontroller
and simplifying firmware overhead.
The SiI9233 supports power down modes.
Separate power islands for the CEC and EDID
allow these features to be fully operational dur-
ing power down.
The SiI9233 built-in HDCP decryption engine
and pre-programmed HDCP keys secures the
digital link for transmission of protected high-
definition content and reduces manufacturing
complexity and cost. The SiI9233 supports full
HDCP repeater functionality.
The SiI9233 uses Silicon Image’s HDMI 1.3
compliant TMDS core supporting dynamic cable
equalization that auto-detects and applies appro-
priate equalization to provide the best-in-class
support for long cable lengths.
The SiI9233 supports Silicon Image’s MHL tech-
nology, a low power, low-pin-count HDMI-com-
patible solution for mobile devices such as
mobile phones, cameras and camcorders. MHL-
equipped mobile devices can connect directly to
A/V receivers via the SiI9233 for distribution
and display of their HD content on the HDTV.
