The SiI9387 port processor and SiI9334 transmitter support the following HDMI® 1.4 specification features:
·HDMI Ethernet Channel
Devices using this chip will be able to send and receive full-duplex data at 100Mb per second over an HDMI cable;
·Audio Return Channel
High-quality S/PDIF signals can be transmitted via an HDMI cable, greatly simplifying the connection between home theaters;
· Smart Type Contents (Content Type Bits)
Optimize and enhance the HD viewing experience by automatically adjusting the content type to match the video mode.
Silicon Image's port processor is an innovative platform that delivers new features, technologies and standards for HDTV HDMI ports that go beyond the basic HDMI switching capabilities offered by analog switches. The port processor supports multiple HDMI inputs and a System-on-Chip (SoC) interface under HDMI technology. In addition to HDMI 1.4 functionality, the SiI9387 port processor also supports Silicon Image-specific technologies such as InstaPortTM, which accelerates port switching between HDMI consumer electronics devices, and a mobile phone, digital camera, digital video camera and portable media player. Low-foot HD audio and video interface for portable electronic devices connected to HDTVs - MHLTM mobile HD connectivity technology.
The SiI9334 transmitter supports 48-bit dark technology for applications such as high-end audio/video receiver (AVR) and Blu-ray DiscTM players, producing stunning visual effects of billions of colors.
Waheed Rasheed, director of marketing at Silicon Image, said: "By incorporating the HDMI 1.4 channel HDMI Ethernet channel functionality into the SiI9387, we have achieved another innovation in HDTV port processors. The HDMI Ethernet channel simplifies connectivity and enables LiquidHD, etc. Personal entertainment technology can provide new services and applications to families."
LiquidHD technology is a set of protocols that run on standard IP networks such as HDMI Ethernet channels. LiquidHD technology is designed to enable fast and easy connection between TVs, consumer electronics devices, personal computers, portable media devices and home theaters and wireless networks. It enables consumers to view digital content from any LiquidHD source device from any LiquidHD display in the home.
LiquidHD technology based on the HDMI 1.4 Ethernet channel lays the foundation for simplifying the connection and use of consumer electronics. For example, consumers only need to use a remote control to select and control various source devices connected to the TV, such as Blu-ray Disc players or Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).
Samples of the SiI9387 port processor and the SiI9334 transmitter are expected to be available in the second half of the year.
