The SiI 170B PanelLink Transmitter
The SiI 170B is a DVI-compliant transmitter with integrated High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). By integrating HDCP,
the SiI 170B enables consumer electronics and PC manufacturers to
build electronic systems capable of sending high-definition video over a
secure digital link to a display device (HDTV, LCD monitor, projector).
SiI 170B-enabled products meet requirements set forth by the Motion
Picture Association (MPA) for the distribution of high-definition video.
Based on the popular DVI specification, HDCP was developed by Intel
with contributions from Silicon Image. HDCP utilizes secret keys to
authenticate and encode the digital video stream.The HDCP encryption
block is seamlessly integrated into the SiI 170B. Integrated, pre-programmed
HDCP keys significantly simplify manufacturing while providing the most
secure solution. The SiI 170B is pin compatible with the SiI 168.
Applications
• Digital Set-top Boxes
• DVD Players
• D-VHS Players
• A/V Receivers
• PCs
• High-end Graphic Boards
The SiI 170B uses Silicon Image's PanelLink^® Digital technology to support
displays ranging from VGA to UXGA resolutions (1600 x 1200) at speeds
ranging from 25-165 MHz. Three TMDS^® data channels send data at up
to 1.65 Gbps per channel. A highly flexible graphics interface can be
configured for either 12-bit (1/2 pixel/clock edge) or 24-bit mode
(1 pixel/clock edge) for true color (16.7 million) support.
