Overview
DisplayPort and HDMI Transmit technologies are highly complex mixed signal designs which require both high performance analog design (equalizer, PLL, DLL, CDR, etc.) and complicated logic design (HDCP engine, TMDS decoder, video and audio data processing, etc.).
The Dual Mode DisplayPort Transmitter IP core is fully compliant with DisplayPort 1.1a and HDMI 1.3 with HDCP content protection specifications. The IP core provides all the signal requirements for the DisplayPort source device receptacle. In HDMI mode, the dual-mode transmitter IP core is fully compliant to the HDMI 1.3 standard. The device supports Deep Color up to 36 bits per pixel. HDMI mode also supports the use of external DisplayPort-to-HDMI level shifting plug adapter.

As automotive displays become part of the safety surface, traditional host-dependent display architectures are showing their limits. In this article, Trilinear outlines how a RISC-V supervised DisplayPort subsystem can provide isolated control, deterministic fault handling, and a more auditable architecture for advanced automotive display platforms.
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.
LTTPR support is quickly becoming a cornerstone of next-gen DisplayPort architectures, particularly in automotive, industrial, and multi-display environments. Here's what you need to know.
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.
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.
