SII9387 Datasheet, PDF (1/2 Pages) Silicon image – HDMI 1.4 Port Processor

Product Brief
HDMI^® 1.4 Port Processor
Featuring HDMI Ethernet Channel and Audio Return Channel, plus
InstaPort™ and Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL™) Technologies
The SiI9387 is a second generation five-input port processor with integrated HDMI
Ethernet Channel enabling IP-based content via 100Mb/sec Ethernet and Audio Return
Channel for transmitting digital audio from DTV to A/V receiver. The SiI9387 eliminates
the need for separate Ethernet or S/PDIF cables and connectors. It features InstaPort™
fast switching plus Silicon Image’s Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL™) technology.
HDTVs are evolving to accept new IP-based
content and services. Consumers expect to
enjoy their content in high-definition - delivered
anywhere. HDMI Ethernet Channel simplifies
the creation of home entertainment networks
and enables new applications to run over
TCP/IP, UPnP, and LiquidHD™ protocols to cre-
ate a new personal entertainment experience.
The Silicon Image family of port processors
enable OEMs to differentiate with innovative
features offering consumers real value. The
SiI9387 port processor outputs to the HDMI
interface, requiring no change to the system
architecture while providing the flexibility to
introduce features as the market demands.
supported on all ports. HDMI Ethernet
Channel - a high-speed, 100 Mb/sec full-duplex
networking data channel, and S/PDIF Audio
Return Channel are supported on any one port.
The SiI9387 features Silicon Image InstaPort
technology to dramatically reduce switching
time between different sources to less than one
second. It also supports the Silicon Image
Mobile High-definition Link (MHL™) technol-
ogy, a low-power, low-pin-count, HDMI-com-
patible solution that enables mobile phones,
digital cameras, portable media players and
other mobile devices to connect directly to
HDTVs. MHL formats are auto-detected on up
to two ports.
The SiI9387 switches between five HDMI 1.4
input ports. All ports support HDMI 1.3 sig-
nals, including audio, video, EDID, HDCP and
CEC . Content Type bits, which specify the
video type in the HDMI data stream, are also
The SiI9387 feature set is matched by the
SiI9334 HDMI transmitter for source devices.
