HDTVs are evolving by adding 3D video and IP

content and services. Bringing 3D video to the

home enhances the consumer home theater

experience while HDMI Ethernet Channel

enables new applications to run over TCP/IP,

UPnP, and LiquidHD™ protocols. Both com-

bine to create a new personal entertainment

experience.

The Silicon Image family of port processors

enable OEMs to differentiate with innovative

features offering consumers real value. The

SiI9389 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.

The SiI9389 switches between five HDMI 1.4

input ports. All ports support 3D Video and

Content Type bits, which specify the video type

in the HDMI data stream. 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.

All HDMI 1.4 signals, including audio, video,

EDID, HDCP and CEC are fully supported.

The SiI9389 includes Silicon Image’s InstaPort

technology which can dramatically reduce

switching time between different sources to as

low as one second. It also supports the Silicon

Image Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL™)

technology, a low-power, low-pin-count solution

that enables mobile phones, digital cameras,

portable media players and other mobile devices

to connect directly to HDTVs. MHL technology

formats are auto-detected on up to two ports.

The SiI9389 port processer is complemented by

the SiI9334 HDMI transmitter for source

devices with the same rich HDMI 1.4 feature

set.

The SiI9389 is a second generation port processor offering comprehensive HDMI

Specification Version 1.4 features for DTVs and AVRs. The SiI9389 transforms the viewing

experience with 3D cinema and games while simplifying home connectivity by eliminating

the need for separate Ethernet or S/PDIF cables and connectors. Silicon Image port

processors feature InstaPort™ technology for fast switching times between sources.
