Abstract: A data transmission method and apparatus are provided, to improve security of audio-video data transmission. In this application, the source device performs identity authentication on and negotiate a key with a transmission device that needs to output audio-video data or perform transformation processing on a transmission path to the sink device, and generates a key distribution packet used to encrypt or decrypt an audio-video stream only for the transmission device that needs to output audio-video data or perform transformation processing. Another device on the transmission path cannot know the key and cannot perform decryption, so that transmission security of the audio-video stream can be improved. In addition, the source device centrally performs identity authentication and authorization control on other transmission devices that need to output the audio-video data or perform transformation processing.

Abstract: This application discloses a data transmission encryption control method and apparatus, and relates to the field of media technologies. The method includes: determining that a to-be-transmitted data packet includes an encryption identifier indicating that the to-be-transmitted data packet is transmitted in an encrypted transmission mode, and encrypting the to-be-transmitted data packet. The to-be-transmitted data packet includes a video data packet. The video data packet is a video data packet obtained based on any line of video data in image frame data of the to-be-transmitted video.

Abstract: This application provides example forward error correction (FEC) code design methods and example related devices. One example method includes determining a quantity of transmission lanes for transmitting data. A plurality of FEC working areas can be determined based on the quantity of transmission lanes, where a quantity of the plurality of FEC working areas is the same as the quantity of transmission lanes, and the plurality of FEC working areas are for performing check and error correction on the data. The data on a transmission lane of the transmission lanes can be evenly allocated to each of the plurality of FEC working areas. The data received by each of the plurality of FEC working areas can be processed by using the plurality of FEC working areas.

Abstract: This application discloses a data transmission method and apparatus, and relates to the field of media technologies. The method includes: obtaining video data of a to-be-transmitted video; splitting first line video data in the video data into a plurality of video data packets; and transmitting the plurality of video data packets and at least one auxiliary data packet in a first line active area.

Abstract: The technology of this application relates to a content transmission protection method and a related device, to avoid leakage of an audio/video stream when a transmit end and a receive end perform authentication. The method includes, in a process of establishing a transmission link between a transmit end and a receive end, the transmit end performs authentication key exchange with the receive end to obtain an authentication key. The transmit end performs session key agreement with the receive end based on the authentication key to obtain a session key. The transmit end performs authorization control on the receive end after establishment of the transmission link between the transmit end and the receive end is completed. The transmit end sends an encrypted audio/video stream to the receive end after the transmit end completes authorization control on the receive end. The encrypted audio/video stream is encrypted based on the session key.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a high-definition media interface (HDMI) source device includes an HDMI interface for transmitting video data and metadata to a sink device. The apparatus is configured to encode the metadata in an auxiliary video information (AVI) information frame (InfoFrame). The apparatus is further configured to transmit the AVI InfoFrame during a frame synchronous transmission window (FSTW) of the video data, wherein the FSTW begins during a video blanking interval (VBI) of the video data, on a first video blank pixel that immediately follows a last active video pixel of a preceding video frame or video field and ends a predetermined number of video lines after a start of the VBI.
