The HDMI 1.4 Specification consolidates the transmission of HD video, audio, data and control in a single cable by enabling high speed bidirectional communication thru the HDMI cable. Silicon Image’s Receiver IP core supports both HDMI 1.3 and new HDMI 1.4 features such as HDMI Ethernet Channel and Audio Return Channel. An HDMI Ethernet Channel enabled device can send and receive data via 100 Mbps Ethernet over an HDMI cable utilizing the new IP core and the customer’s own Ethernet transceiver. The Audio Return Channel allows the TV tuner to send audio streams from the TV to an HDMI attached A/V receiver for audio processing to improve sound quality. 3D video standards are supported up to 1080p frame size.
