6 HDMI Overview 2 UG-HDMI Subscribe The Altera High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) IP core provides support for next generation video display interface technology. The HDMI standard specifies a digital communications interface for use in both internal and external connections: Internal connections interface within a PC and monitor External display connections interface between a PC and monitor or projector, between a PC and TV, or between a device such a DVD player and TV display. The HDMI system architecture consists of sinks and sources. A device may have one or more HDMI inputs and outputs. The HDMI cable and connectors carry four differential pairs that make up the Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) data and clock channels. You can use these channels to carry video, audio, and auxiliary data. The HDMI also carries a Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Data Channel (DDC) and Status and Control Data Channel (SCDC). The DDC configures and exchanges status between a single source and a single sink. The source uses the DDC to read the sink's Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) to discover the sink's configuration and capabilities. The SCDC supports the sink's read requests. The optional Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) protocol provides high-level control functions between various audio visual products in your environment. The optional HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel (HEAC) provides Ethernet compatible data networking between connected devices and an audio return channel in the opposite direction of TMDS. The HEAC also uses Hot-Plug Detect (HPD) line for signal transmission Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

UG-HDMI HDMI IP Core Video Audio HDMI Transmitter TDMS Channel 0 TDMS Channel 1 TDMS Channel 2 HDMI Receiver Video Audio Control/Status TDMS Clock Channel Control/Status CEC HEAC Detect Status and Control Data Channel (SCDC) Display Data Channel (DDC) CEC Line Utility Line HPD Line EDID ROM CEC HEAC High/Low Based on TMDS encoding, the HDMI protocol allows the transmission of both audio and video data between source and sink devices. An HDMI interface consists of three color channels accompanied by a single clock channel. You can use each color line to transfer both individual RGB colors and auxiliary data. The receiver uses the TMDS clock as a frequency reference for data recovery on the three TMDS data channels. This clock typically runs at the video pixel rate. TMDS encoding is based on an 8-bit to 10-bit algorithm. This protocol attempts to minimize data channel transmission and yet maintain sufficient bandwidth so that a sink device can lock reliably to the data stream. HDMI Overview

16 4-2 Source TMDS/TERC4 Encoder The source core accepts video, audio, and auxiliary channel data streams. The core produces a TMDS/ TERC4 encoded data stream that would typically connect to the high-speed transceiver parallel data inputs. Central to the core is the TMDS/TERC4 encoder. The encoder processes either video or auxiliary data. Source TMDS/TERC4 Encoder The source TMDS/TERC4 encoder implements 8-bit to 10-bit and 4-bit to 10-bit algorithms as defined in the HDMI Specification Ver.2.0. Each channel has its own encoder. The encoder processes symbol data at 1, 2, or 4 symbols per clock. When the encoder operates in 2 or 4 symbols per clock, it also produces the output in the form of two or four encoded symbols per clock. The TMDS/TERC4 encoder also produces digital visual interface (DVI) signaling when you deassert the mode input signal. DVI signaling is identical to HDMI signaling, except for the absence of data and video islands and TERC4 auxiliary data. Source Video Resampler The core resamples the video data based on the current color depth. The video resampler consists of a gearbox and a dual-clock FIFO (DCFIFO). Figure 4-2: Source Video Resampler Signal Flow Diagram The figure below shows the components of the video resampler and the signal flow between these components. UG-HDMI H-SYNC V-SYNC de r g b 1 vid_clk data wr wrclk DCFIFO q rd rdclk Gearbox Phase Counter Resampled H-SYNC V-SYNC de r g b packing-phase (pp) bits per pixel (bpp) ls_clk The resampler adheres to the recommended phase encoding method described in HDMI Specification Ver. 1.4b. The phase counter must register the last packing-phase (pp) of the last pixel of the last active line. The resampler then transmits the pp value to the attached sink device in the General Control Packet (GCP) for packing synchronization. HDMI Source

The first pixel transmitted within a Video Data Period contains three components, Y0, Cb0 and Cr0. The Y0 and Cb0 components are transmitted during the first pixel period while Cr0 is transmitted during the second pixel period. This second pixel period also contains the only component for the second pixel, Y1. In this way, the link carries one Cb sample for every two pixels and one Cr sample for every two pixels. These two components (Cb and Cr) are multiplexed onto the same signal paths on the link.

UG-HDMI Video Data Enable V Sync H Sync Data Island Output Enable Vertical Blanking Active Video Control Period Data Island Guard Band Video Guard Band Data Island Horizontal Blanking Active Video Source Auxiliary Packet Encoder Auxiliary packets are encoded by the source auxiliary packet encoder. The auxiliary packets originate from a number of sources, which are multiplexed into the auxiliary packet encoder in a round-robin schedule. The auxiliary packet encoder converts a standard stream into the channel data format required by the TERC4 encoder. The source propagates the WOP signal backwards through the stream ready signal. The auxiliary packet encoder also calculates and inserts the Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) error correction code. HDMI Source

A packet is always 24 clocks (in 1-symbol mode), 12 clocks (in 2-symbol mode), or 6 clocks (in 4-symbol mode). The encoder creates a NULL auxiliary packet if it doesn't detect a start-of-packet at the beginning of a packet boundary. In this case, you can consider the output of the encoder as a stream of NULL packets unless a valid packet is available. HDMI Source

The packet generators convert the packet field inputs to the auxiliary packet stream format. The packet generator propagates backpressure from the output ready signal to the input ready signal. The generator asserts the input valid signal when a packet is ready to be transmitted. The input valid signal remains asserted until the generator receives a ready acknowledgment. Source Auxiliary Data Path Multiplexers The auxiliary data path multiplexers provide paths for the various auxiliary packet generators. The various auxiliary packet generators traverse a multiplexed routing path to the auxiliary packet encoder. The multiplexers obey a round-robin schedule and propagate backpressure. Source Auxiliary Control Port To simplify the user logic, the source core has control ports to send the most common auxiliary control packets. These packets are: General Control Packet, Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) InfoFrame, HDMI Vendor Specific InfoFrame (VSI), and Audio InfoFrame. The core sends the default values in the auxiliary packets. The default values allow the core to send video data compatible with the HDMI Specification Ver.1.4b with minimum description. You can also override the generators using the customized input values. The override values replace the default values when the input checksum is non-zero. The core sends the auxiliary control packets on the active edge of the V-SYNC signal to ensure that the packets are sent once per field.

You need to provide these values. The core schedules this packet to be sent every ms. The scheduler uses the audio_clk and N value to determine a 1-ms interval. The core sends the Audio Information InfoFrame packet on the active edge of the V-SYNC signal. The Audio Sample Data packet queues on a DCFIFO. The core also uses the DCFIFO to synchronize its clock to ls_clk. The Audio Packetizer packs the audio sample data into the Audio Sample packets according to the specified audio format. An Audio Sample packet can contain up to 4 audio samples, based on the required audio sample clock. The core sends the Audio Sample packets whenever there is an available slot in the auxiliary packet stream. The audio_data port is always at a fixed value of 256 bits and the audio_de port is always fixed to 1 bit. For audio channels fewer than 8, insert 0 to the audio data of the unused audio channels. The 32-bit audio data is packed in IEC standard. The least significant word is the left channel sample.

HDMI Audio Format The HDMI IP core uses the HDMI audio formats to transport payload data.

The Sample Present bit determines whether to use 2-channel or 8-channel layout. If the Sample Present bit from Channel 0 or 1 is high, then audio interface uses the 2-channel layout. If otherwise, the audio interface uses the 8-channel layout. The IP core ignores the Parity, Channel Status, User Data, and Valid bits if the Sample Present bit is 0. In the HBR format, the sample packet data is identical to the LPCM format. In HBR mode, the HDMI source transmits 8 samples per clock. The core transmits the HBR audio packets using AUX packet header number 9. In the MST format, the sample packet data is also identical to the LPCM format. The MST mode enables a source to send up to 4 streams of audio to a sink device. The HDMI source sends 1, 2, or 4 streams. When the source sends fewer than 4 streams, you must set the input audio data to zero. HDMI Source

This same clock derives the required link speed clock (ls_clk), which is used to drive the transceiver phase-locked loop (PLL) input. The ls_clk depends on the color bits per pixel (bpp). Because the transceiver is in bonding mode, the HDMI source core uses tx_clk[0] to clock the data from the source core in the ls_clk domain into the transceiver in the tx_clk[0] domain. For HDMI source, you must instantiate 4 transmitter channels: 3 channels to transmit data and 1 channel to transmit clock information. You must connect the core ls_clk to the transceiver clock output, which performs the TMDS and TERC4 encoding. The auxiliary data clocks into the core at the ls_clk rate. HDMI Source

39 5-2 Sink Channel Word Alignment and Deskew Sink Channel Word Alignment and Deskew The input stage of the sink is responsible for synchronizing the incoming parallel data channels correctly. The synchronization is split to two stages: word alignment and channel deskew. Table 5-1: Synchronization Stages UG-HDMI Stage Description Word Alignment Correctly aligns the incoming parallel data to word boundaries using bit-slip technique. TMDS encoding does not guarantee unique control codes, but the core can still use the sequence of continuous symbols found in data and video preambles to align. The alignment algorithm searches for 12 consecutive 0 54 or 0 ab corresponding to the data and video preambles. Note: The preambles are also present in digital video interface (DVI) coding. The alignment logic asserts a marker indicator when the 12 consecutive signals are detected. Similarly, the logic infers alignment loss when 8K symbol clocks elapse without a single marker assertion. Channel Deskew When the data channels are aligned, the core then attempts to deskew each channel. The sink core deskews at the rising edge of the marker insertion. For every correct deskewed lane, the marker insertion will appear in all three TMDS encoded streams. The sink core deskews using three dual-clock FIFOs. The dual-clock FIFOs also synchronize all three data streams to the blue channel clock to be used later throughout the decoder core. HDMI Sink
