InstaPort technology enables immediate access to your content by reducing HDMI
port switching time. Consumers today connect multiple source devices (e.g. game
consoles, set-top boxes, Blu-ray Disc™ players, AppleTV™ , Roku™) to the HDMI
ports on the rear, side and front panels of their DTVs. However, when switching
between these devices they experience a four (4) to seven (7) second delay
caused by the authentication process required to display protected content on
the DTV.
InstaPort technology reduces HDMI port switching times for DTVs, A/V
receivers and HDMI switches that are equipped with multiple HDMI input
ports. This technology is integrated
into Silicon Image port processors with up to five (5) HDMI inputs and input
processors with up to four (4) inputs.
