HDMI Intel® FPGA IP Core

The HDMI Intel FPGA intellectual property (IP) core provides support for the next generation of video display interface technology. Due to its ability to send high-definition audio and video, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) has become the most common digital connection in consumer electronics.

HDMI Intel® FPGA IP Core

The HDMI cable and connectors carry four differential pairs that are composed of three Transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS) data channels and one clock channel in HDMI 2.0 or four Fixed Rate Link (FRL) data channels in HDMI 2.1. You can use these channels to carry video, audio, and auxiliary data at a raw bit rate of up to 3.4/6/8/10/12 Gbps per channel. HDCP-encrypted transmission can also be integrated into our IP through the newly released Intel® FPGA HDCP core.

HDMI 2.1 8K Demo Video

In this demo, we will be showing the 8K UDX10 reference design for Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs, featuring HDMI 2.1 connectivity IP as well as the 8K ready Video and Image Processing Suite Intel® FPGA IP.
