SiI 169

Silicon Image's SiI 169 enables the easy and low-cost addition of the DVI interface to digital televisions (DTVs), plasma displays, LCD TV/monitors and projectors. With the DVI-compliant SiI 169, displays may now realize consistently high image quality while receiving premium video content encrypted with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP has received support from major Hollywood studios. Integrated, pre-programmed HDCP keys significantly simplify manufacturing while providing the highest level of security. The SiI 169 incorporates a fullbandwidth PanelLink^® Digital receiver while offering high jitter tolerance and efficient power management. With a full DVI single-link bandwidth of 25-165 MHz, all ATSC resolutions (720p/1080i) and PC resolutions up to UXGA (60Hz refresh) are supported. All of these features and benefits are provided in a 100-pin TQFP package that is footprint-compatible with the SiI 161B PanelLink receiver.

The SiI 169 allows DTV manufacturers to quickly and easily integrate the DVI interface into their advanced digital products. By supporting HDCP for DVI now, new applications in display security can be realized that enable viewing of premium video content.
