SII9187 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) Silicon image – PinnaClear Port Processor

PinnaClear^™ Port Processor
Featuring four HDMI 1.3 input ports with five EDID RAMs
Silicon Image’s PinnaClear port processors are a new generation of highly innovative yet
cost-effective HDMI solutions for price-sensitive, mid-range DTVs. PinnaClear port
processors output directly to the integrated HDMI inputs in DTV SoCs, allowing manufac-
turers to differentiate their products by focusing their R&D efforts on video processing or
other proprietary advantages.
The SiI9187 processor’s five integrated Extended
Display Identification Data (EDID) RAMs elimi-
nate external EPROM components, lower BOM
costs and simplify board design. Source devices
can read EDID when DTVs are in standby mode
or when the DTV is unplugged from the wall.
EDID data is stored in NVRAM and down-
loaded into the RAM when a source device is
connected to the DTV.
The SiI9187’s integrated CEC eliminates the
need for the external microprocessor to manage
the low-level protocol. The CEC API simplifies
the firmware development of CEC commands.
Using power islands, CEC and EDID functions
are supported in extremely low power.
All SiI9187 ports support the HDMI 1.3 specifi-
cation and Deep Color -- the highest quality
protected digital video over a single cable -- and
12 bits of video at 1080p/60Hz or 1080i/120Hz
resolutions. The SiI9187 port processor also
comes pre-programmed with HDCP keys to sim-
plify manufacturing and provide the highest
level of HDCP key security.
The SiI9187’s built-in adaptive equalizer pro-
vides long cable support, even at Deep Color
resolutions. This patented technology enables
the SiI9187 to work reliably with noisy signals
and multiple sources, making the sink devices
highly interoperable.
