Transmitting digital video and data over the same wires

摘要

A communication device configured to transmit and receive simultaneously, over the same wire, unidirectional high definition video and bidirectional data. The communication device includes a hybrid circuit coupled to a cable made of wires, and a transceiver. The transceiver is configured to transmit, over one of the cable's wires, Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) data and source-to-sink direction of bidirectional data. The transceiver is further configured to receive the opposite direction of the bidirectional data over the same wire and simultaneously with the transmitting.

1. A communication device configured to transmit and receive simultaneously, over the same wire, unidirectional high definition video and bidirectional data, comprising:
a hybrid circuit coupled to a cable made of wires; a transceiver configured to transmit, over a wire comprised in the cable, Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) data and source-to-sink direction of bidirectional data; wherein the TMDS data comprises: video pixel data, and horizontal and vertical video synchronization data; and the transceiver is further configured to receive, over the same wire and simultaneously with the transmitting, opposite direction of the bidirectional data.
