Silicon Image introduces the latest addition to its PanelLink
family with advances
in performance and functionality well beyond other digital interface products on the
market. With the first groundbreaking HDMI parts, PanelLink brought a new
level of digital quality to mass-market home theater systems.The latest advances
increase audio format support and video resolution while reducing overall system
cost. As always, Silicon Image has built PanelLink silicon for rapid integration into
consumer electronics system architectures.
The SiI 9011 is a low-cost, fully HDMI-compliant receiver that fits directly into
home theater products such as LCD TVs, plasma TVs and HDTVs. The new
receiver is capable of supporting bandwidths up to 165MHz and video resolutions
up to 1080p and UXGA. To improve manufacturers’ time-to-market and reduce
design time, the SiI 9011 is software backward-compatible with the SiI 9021,
SiI 9031 and SiI 9993. The SiI 9011 supports the DVD-Audio standard, including
7.1-surround audio at 96kHz and stereo audio at 192kHz. The SiI 9011 also
supports HDCP Repeater functionality for applications such as media receiver
set-top boxes and A/V receivers.
The built-in High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) decryption engine
secures the digital link for transmission of valuable high-definition video and audio.
Each SiI 9011 is pre-programmed with unique HDCP keys, providing the highest
level of security while reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. A new built-in
HDCP self-test engine simplifies manufacturing testing.
