Overview

Embedded Display port is the serial communication protocol developed by Video Electronics Standards Association to support the video,audio and other data between a source device and sink device. Embedded Display port VIP can be used to verify transmitter or Receiver device following the Embedded Display port basic protocol as defined in Embedded Display port.

Embedded Display Port Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

Embedded Display Port Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.

VESA Adaptive-Sync V2 Operation in DisplayPort VIP

In a computer system, both the GPU as well as the monitor have a certain rate at which they render or update an image, respectively. The rate is nothing but the frequency at which the image is refreshed (updated in the image it shows/displays), usually expressed in hertz, and can vary based on the content displayed on the screen.

DisplayPort 2025: Navigating the Next Wave of Display Innovation

This article breaks down the latest DisplayPort trends, the key technological shifts driving the protocol forward, and the strategic challenges implementers need to navigate — especially as DisplayPort IP finds its way into increasingly safety-critical domains.

Audio Transport in DisplayPort VIP

DisplayPort uses Secondary Data Packets (SDPs), which are transported over the Main-Link that are not main video stream data. This allows it to carry audio and video simultaneously. The VIP supports audio transmission both in the original mode as defined in the specification as well as just as any other SDP being transmitted.
