7.1. HDMI Source Parameters

Table 61.  HDMI Source Parameters
Parameter Value Description
Device family

Intel® Stratix® 10

Intel® Arria® 10

Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX

Arria V

Stratix V

 Targeted device family. This parameter inherits the value from the project device.
Direction

Transmitter

Receiver

 Select HDMI transmitter.
Pixels per clock 2 or 8 pixels per clock

Determines how many pixels are processed per clock.

  • When you turn off Support FRL, supports 2 pixels per clock.
  • When you turn on Support FRL, supports 8 pixels per clock.
Note: This parameter is available only with Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.
Transceiver width 20 or 40 bits Determines the required transceiver width. The transceiver width depends on the number of TMDS symbols processed in parallel (symbols per clock).
  • When you turn off Support FRL, transceiver width is 20 bits (2 symbols per clock).
  • When you turn on Support FRL, transceiver width is 40 bits (4 symbols per clock).
Note: This parameter is available only with Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.
Support auxiliary On, Off Determines if auxiliary channel encoding is included. This parameter is turned on by default.

This parameter is always turned on when Support FRL is enabled.
Support deep color On, Off

Determines if the core can encode deep color formats. This parameter is turned on by default.
Support audio On, Off

Determines if the core can encode audio data.

To enable this parameter, you must also enable the Support auxiliary parameter. This parameter is turned on by default.

Support FRL On, Off

Turn on to enable the FRL path.

When enabled, the clock domains for the auxiliary and audio ports, and the internal modules are different Refer to the block diagram for more details.

Note: This parameter is available only with Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.
Support HDCP 2.3 On, Off

Turn on to enable HDCP 2.3 TX support. This parameter can only be used with Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.

Note: The HDCP-related parameters are not included in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software. To access the HDCP feature, contact Intel at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/broadcast/products/programmable/applications/connectivity-solutions.html.
Support HDCP 1.4 On, Off

Turn on to enable HDCP 1.4 TX support. This parameter can only be used with Intel® Arria® 10 and Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.

Note: The HDCP-related parameters are not included in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software. To access the HDCP feature, contact Intel at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/broadcast/products/programmable/applications/connectivity-solutions.html.
Support HDCP Key Management On, Off Turn on to enable HDCP key management support. You can only turn on this parameter if you turn on the Support HDCP 1.4 or Support HDCP 2.3 parameters.
Note:
  1. The HDCP-related parameters are not included in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro EditionIntel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software. To access the HDCP feature, contact Intel at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/broadcast/products/programmable/applications/connectivity-solutions.html.
  2. The HDCP key management support from version 21.3 onwards is not compatible with the KEYENC version 21.2 and earlier. You need to re-encrypt the HDCP production keys using the KEYENC version 21.3 onwards. Refer to HDMI Intel Arria 10 FPGA IP Design Example User Guide and HDMI Intel Stratix 10 FPGA IP Design Example User Guide for more details.
Include I2C slave On, Off

Turn on to include a pair of I2C slaves for EDID and SCDC registers. path.

Include EDID RAM On, Off

Turn on to include RAM to store EDID information for RX.

You can only turn on this parameter if you turned on the Include I2C slave parameter.

EDID RAM size In multiple of 2N

Specifies the memory size in number of N-bit words. The value must be in multiple of 2N.

For example, the default memory size is 256 words which is 28 with N = 8.

The N also determines the width of the address bus of the RAM’s Avalon® memory-mapped nterface.

This parameter is enabled only if you turned on the Include EDID RAM parameter.

RAM file path –

Initial content of the memory. The file must be in .hex or .mif file type.

This parameter is enabled only if you turned on the Include EDID RAM parameter.

HPD signal polarity 0, 1 Specifies the polarity of Hot Plug Detect (HPD) signal from the connector.
  • 0: Negative
  • 1: Positive
Note: For Bitec daughter card, always set the polarity to 0.
Include I2C Master/Slave On, Off Turn on to include I2C master on the HDMI TX or I2C slave on the HDMI RX for the DDC channel communication.

When enabled for RX, HDMI RX core includes I2C slave with I2C serial interface exposed for the connection to the HDMI connector. I2C slave is driven internally by EDID RAM and SCDC register.

When enabled for TX, HDMI TX core includes I2C master with I2C serial interface exposed for the connection to the HDMI connector. I2C master will also expose Avalon-MM interface for the user control using NIOS.
