Abstract:
A bridge chip receives a first data stream compliant with the first multimedia communication standard. The first data stream includes first video data of a first incoming video frame, second video data of a second incoming video frame, and information describing a transfer function for the second video data, the information included in a video blanking interval of the first incoming video frame. The bridge chip extracts information describing a transfer function for the second video data. The bridge chip then generates a second data stream compliant with the second multimedia communication standard. The second data stream includes the first video data in a first outbound video frame, the second video data in a second outbound video frame, and the extracted information describing the transfer function for the second video data. Finally, the generated second data stream is transmitted to a destination device.
Abstract:
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method of transmitting an audio signal and also a method of receiving an audio signal. The method of transmitting the audio signal includes: receiving the audio signal including a plurality of frames having a left and right subframes containing audio data of a first number of bits; encoding the left and right subframes into a parity code of a second number of bits; generating serial data by combining the parity code and the audio data; and transmitting the serial data over an audio transmission media having a bandwidth of a third number of bits, a sum of the first number of bits and the second number of bits being below the third number of bits. The method of receiving the audio signal includes: receiving a serial signal combining a parity code; decoding the serial signal by calculating a syndrome based on the parity code; detecting an error by comparing the syndrome with the audio data; and generating a corrected audio signal by correcting the detected error.
Abstract:
A source device communicates multimedia data to a sink device over a multimedia channel of a multimedia link. The source device comprises an interface to a full duplex control channel of the multimedia link. The source device also comprises first arbitration logic to control transfer of control data with the sink device via the full duplex control channel. The first arbitration logic ignores requests to receive inbound control data from the sink device while the source device is transmitting outbound control data to the sink device. The sink device, on the other hand, comprises second arbitration logic to control transfer of control data with the source device via the full duplex control channel. The second arbitration logic stops transmitting outbound control data via the full duplex control channel responsive to receiving a request to receive incoming control data from the source device.
Abstract:
A source device and a sink device may be connected using an interface cable comprising at least first and second physical channels. The first physical channel may be used to transmit video data unidirectionally from the source device to the sink device. In addition, the second physical channel may comprise an audio return channel wherein audio data can be transmitted unidirectionally from the sink device to the source device at a first rate. In addition, the second physical channel may also transmit bidirectional control data between the source and sink devices at a second rate slower than the first rate. The audio data may be overlaid on the control data, wherein the audio data is transmitted using differential signaling, while the control data is transmitted using common mode signaling.

Abstract:
A multimedia system for data communications. A source device communicates over a full duplex control channel of a multimedia communication link using time domain multiplexed (TDM) frames having n time slots per frame. The source device allocates a first time slot position to a virtual channel for data transmission by the source device over the full duplex control channel. A sink device communicates over the full duplex control channel of the multimedia communication link. The sink device allocates a second time slot position to the virtual channel for data transmission by the sink device over the full duplex control channel. A timing of the second time slot position is offset from a timing of the first time slot position by substantially n/2 time slots.
Abstract:
A mechanism for facilitating dynamic phase detection with high jitter tolerance for images of media streams is described. In one embodiment, a method includes calculating stability optimization of an image of a media stream based on a plurality of pixels of two or more consecutive frames relating to a plurality of phases of the image, calculating sharpness optimization of the image, and selecting a best phase of the plurality of phases based on the stability and sharpness optimization of the image. The best phase may represent the image such that the image is displayed in a manner in accordance with human vision perceptions.
