An example electronic system includes an edge PLD including programmable logic blocks (PLBs) configured to implement an image engine preprocessor and an image engine. The edge PLD is configured to receive raw imagery provided by an imaging module of the electronic system via a raw image pathway of the electronic system; to generate, via the image engine preprocessor, engine-quality imagery corresponding to the received raw imagery; and to generate, via the image engine of the edge PLD, one or more image tags associated with the generated engine-quality imagery. The one or more image tags and/or the associated engine-quality imagery is used to control operation of the electronic system.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to inserting a preamble code as a preamble of a sub-frame of encrypted data to indicate rekeying is to be performed at a source device and to indicate data of the sub-frame and subsequent sub-frames is encrypted. A sink device authenticates a source device using an authentication and encryption protocol. The sink device receives a data stream including audio data. At least a portion of the received audio data is encrypted and the encrypted audio data is packetized into sub-frames. The sink device inserts a first preamble code as a preamble of a sub-frame to indicate rekeying is to be performed at the source device according to the authentication and encryption protocol, and to indicate that the audio data in a payload of the sub-frame and payloads of subsequent sub-frames is encrypted. The sink device transmits the packet to the source device via a first data link.

Abstract: In one aspect, a video processing device includes a processor and a transmitter, for example implemented as separate integrated circuits on a printed circuit board. Pins on the processor are coupled to pins on the transmitter via a data channel, for example conductive leads on the printed circuit board. Video data is transmitted from the processor to the transmitter via this data channel, which is high speed enough to accommodate video data. The transmitter also includes an encryption engine used to encrypt the video data. Encryption control data, which determines the encryption to be applied, is transmitted from the processor to the transmitter over the same data channel as the video data. This is more secure than transmitting the encryption control data over a slower separate data channel, because the high speed video channel is harder to tamper with.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to half-duplex bidirectional transmission of data compliant with a first standard (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard) over a physical channel of a multimedia link for transmitting audio/video (“A/V”) data compliant with a second standard (e.g., Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) standard) between a source device and a sink device using time division multiplexing (TDM). The source device sends units of data including A/V data and forward data compliant with the first standard at first times whereas the sink device sends units of data including backward data compliant with the first standard at second times between transmissions from the source device. The first times do not overlap with the second times. Synchronization signals may be added to the first and second units of data to align character symbols embedded in the first and second units of data.

Abstract: A transmitter and receiver for communication of multimedia streams across a multi-lane communications link. The transmitter packetizes multimedia streams according to a link layer protocol and distributes the packets across multiple lanes of a communications link. The entire packet, including the header and payload, can be distributed across the lanes in an ordered sequence to increase utilization of the communication lanes. The transmitter may also packetize multiple multimedia streams and intermix the packets across the lanes of the communication lane. The receiver extracts the packets that are distributed across the multiple lanes and decodes the packets into the multimedia streams.

Abstract: A video processing system has a source device and a sink device. The source device compresses raw video data and transmits the resulting compressed video data and at least some of the raw video data to the sink device. The sink device decompresses the transmitted compressed video data and generates a reconstructed output video frame, where each region of the output frame is based on a selection of either the corresponding raw video data or the corresponding decompressed video data. By using raw video data for some of the regions of the output frame, noticeable artifacts resulting from using a lossy video compression/decompression algorithm can be omitted. In one embodiment, the sink device compares regions of raw and decompressed video data to select data for the output frame and requests the source device to transmit specific regions of new raw video data based on those comparisons.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to routing encrypted data from a source to a sink via a router without decrypting the data in the router. The source authenticates with the router, the result of which produces a session key and a pseudo-random number. The router authenticates with the sink using the same session key and pseudo-random number. The router passes encrypted data received from the source to the sink without decryption and re-encryption.
