Silicon Image is widely recognized as a pioneer and originator of the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard. In 1997, Silicon Image began shipping this innovative high-speed technology, which was later chosen as the technology base for the DVI standard. Silicon Image, in conjunction with Intel and leading PC and display OEMs established DVI to enable a standard all-digital interface between PCs and digital displays. Silicon Image has now shipped more than forty million of its DVI-compliant ICs, which have been incorporated into PC and display designs from the world's top PC and display manufacturers. Today, the company’s technology is the standard against which other companies measure their DVI compatibility and interoperability. Now, these standard-setting DVI cores are available by license to companies looking to deliver proven DVI solutions.

The cores are DVI-compliant and support the full DVI bandwidth of 25 to 165 MHz. The cores support high-resolution displays ranging from VGA to UXGA (1600 x 1200) and beyond in a single-link configuration. Three TMDS® data channels for RGB send and receive data up to 1.65 Gbps per channel for true color depth (16.7 million) support. The DVI cores support industry-standard interfaces for universal compatibility.
