Fully HDMI-compliant, the SiI 9011 supports bandwidths up to 165 MHz and the widest range of video resolutions including 1080p and UXGA. To improve manufacturers’ time to market and reduce design time, register sets for the SiI 9011 are backward compatible with Silicon Image’s prior-generation SiI 9021, SiI 9031 and SiI 9993 HDMI receivers. The SiI 9011 supports the DVD-Audio standard, including 7.1-surround audio at 96 kHz and stereo audio at 192 kHz. The SiI 9011 features a flexible digital output capable of interfacing in 12-, 24- and 48-bit modes, enabling a direct connection to a wide variety of video processors including the latest generation offering support for 1080p resolutions. It also supports HDCP repeater functionality for applications such as media receiver set-top boxes and A/V receivers.
The SiI 9011’s built-in HDCP decryption engine secures the digital link for transmission of valuable high-definition (HD) 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.
