The HDMI Receiver core is compliant with the HDMI 1.3 Specification and is designed for consumer electronics products receiving premium digital content. This core is ideal for next-generation digital TVs, projectors and A/V receivers, and incorporates an extremely flexible audio and video interface. Industry standard S/PDIF is included for PCM encoded data as well as Dolby Digital, DTS and other formats capable of being sent over S/PDIF. I2S and Direct Stream Digital (DSD) interfaces are included to support Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio high bit rate and Super Audio CD formats. The HDMI core provides full support for HDCP decryption and authentication.
Two options exist for the HDMI Receiver PHY. For the highest level of integration, Silicon Image offers the PHY as an IP core which is tightly coupled with the digital logic. For designers looking for faster integration and process independence, there is the HDMI digital transmitter core plus discrete companion PHY (SiI 9003).
All cores are semiconductor-proven at leading foundries and through Silicon Image HDMI semiconductor products.
