Abstract: In some embodiments, a system for providing DisplayPort communication over an extension medium is provided. The system comprises an upstream facing port device (UFP device) and a downstream facing port device (DFP device). The UFP device is configured to conduct link training with a DisplayPort source device using first DisplayPort configuration data (DPCD). The DFP device is configured to conduct link training with the DisplayPort sink device using second DPCD different from the first DPCD. The UFP device is configured to extract video data from DisplayPort data received from the DisplayPort source device and transmit the video data to the DFP device. The DFP device is configured to receive the video data, generate DisplayPort data as specified by the second DPCD, and transmit the generated DisplayPort data to the DisplayPort sink device as specified by the second DPCD.

Abstract: Extension devices such as upstream facing port devices (UFP devices) and downstream facing port devices (DFP devices) connect via an extension medium. When a UFP device and a DFP device pair with each other, DisplayPort video and/or audio information from a DisplayPort source device can be presented by a DisplayPort sink device, which are coupled to the UFP device and DFP device, respectively. In some embodiments, the DFP device may train a DisplayPort link to the DisplayPort sink device regardless of whether it is receiving actual data from a UFP device, and may provide placeholder data to the DisplayPort sink device in order to keep the link active. The DFP device may then replace the placeholder data with the actual data from the UFP device, once received, and may thereby seamlessly switch the DisplayPort sink device from presenting placeholder data to presenting data from the DisplayPort source device.
