  • Mapping SDVO functions from PCI express interface
    Patent number: 7840714
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to map pins on an interface connector to signals for a digital display. A first group of signal traces maps transmitter differential pairs pins in a first group of lanes on the interface connector compatible with a first interface standard to video output points corresponding to video output signals of a first video port compatible with a second interface standard. A second group of signal traces maps presence detect pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to control signal points corresponding to control signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard. A third group of signal traces maps receiver differential pairs pins in the first group of lanes on the interface connector to video input points corresponding to video input signals of the first video port compatible with the second interface standard.

  • DELIVERING PIXELS RECEIVED AT A LOWER DATA TRANSFER RATE OVER AN INTERFACE THAT OPERATES AT A HIGHER DATA TRANSFER RATE
    Publication number: 20090189910
    Abstract: A number of pixels are received at a pixel rate that corresponds to a lower data transfer rate. The received pixels are delivered for display on a display device, over an interface that operates at a higher data transfer rate. These pixels are delivered as part of a stream that includes one or more codes that have been inserted between each adjacent pair of pixels so that the pixels in the stream are still delivered at the pixel rate. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

  • Circuit and method for transferring low frequency signals via high frequency interface
    Patent number: 7222199
    Abstract: An interface operates at an operating frequency. The interface includes transmitters and receivers that operate within the operating frequency of the interface. The interface also includes circuit elements to allow transmission of signals across the interface in which the signals have a frequency lower than the operating frequency of the interface.

  • System and method of aligning images for display devices
    Patent number: 6597373
    Abstract: A display controller that includes a controller adapted to receive images selectable in real-time to any of a two or more of differing scanning resolutions, adapted to receive information regarding a fixed scanning resolution of a display device, and adapted to generate image borders taking into consideration the information of the fixed scanning resolution and a currently selected one of the two or more differing scanning resolutions, in order to control placement of the images on the display device.
