The SiI9187 processor’s five integrated ExtendedDisplay Identification Data (EDID) RAMs elimi-nate external EPROM components, lower BOMcosts and simplify board design. Source devicescan read EDID when DTVs are in standby modeor when the DTV is unplugged from the wall.EDID data is stored in NVRAM and down-loaded into the RAM when a source device isconnected to the DTV.The SiI9187’s integrated CEC eliminates theneed for the external microprocessor to managethe low-level protocol. The CEC API simplifiesthe firmware development of CEC commands.Using power islands, CEC and EDID functionsare supported in extremely low power.All SiI9187 ports support the HDMI 1.3 specifi-cation and Deep Color -- the highest qualityprotected digital video over a single cable -- and12 bits of video at 1080p/60Hz or 1080i/120Hzresolutions. The SiI9187 port processor alsocomes pre-programmed with HDCP keys to sim-plify manufacturing and provide the highestlevel of HDCP key security.The SiI9187’s built-in adaptive equalizer pro-vides long cable support, even at Deep Colorresolutions. This patented technology enablesthe SiI9187 to work reliably with noisy signalsand multiple sources, making the sink deviceshighly interoperable.PinnaClear™ Port ProcessorFeaturing four HDMI 1.3 input ports with five EDID RAMsSilicon Image’s PinnaClear port processors are a new generation of highly innovative yetcost-effective HDMI solutions for price-sensitive, mid-range DTVs. PinnaClear portprocessors output directly to the integrated HDMI inputs in DTV SoCs, allowing manufac-turers to differentiate their products by focusing their R
