Intel® Agilex™ HDMI RX-TX Retransmit

  • 12 Gbps (FRL)
  • 10 Gbps (FRL)
  • 8 Gbps (FRL)

  • 250 Mbps - 6000 Mbps (TMDS)
Simplex Parallel with FIFO buffer

Features

This design offers the following features:
  • Instantiates FIFO buffers to perform a direct HDMI video stream passthrough between the HDMI 2.1 sink and source.
  • Comes with HDMI RX and TX instances.
  • Capable of switching between FRL and TMDS modes during run time.
  • Demonstrates the insertion and filtering of Dynamic Range and Mastering (HDR) InfoFrame in RX-TX link module.
  • Negotiates the FRL rate between the sink connected to TX and the source connected to RX. The design passes through the EDID from the external sink to the on-board RX in default configuration. The Nios® II processor negotiates the link base on the capability of the sink connected to TX. You can also toggle the user_dipsw on-board switch to manually control the TX and RX FRL capabilities.
  • Includes several debugging features.
