Transmitter/Controller Defeats Piracy

Introduced as the industry's first end-to-end digital visual interface (DVI) solution with high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP), the SiI 861 PanelLink controller and SiI 168 transmitter are claimed to allow the transmission of content-protected video without the fear of piracy. The SiI 168 operates with any of the company's PanelLink receivers to transmit DVI 1.0 video. Two transmitters can be used in a dual-link mode to achieve data transfers up to 10 Gb/s, supporting displays with resolutions up to 2,056 x 2,048. The SiI 861 controller incorporates a PanelLink receiver and supports resolutions up to SXGA+ with a parallel and integrated LVDS output.
