with advances in performance and functionality well beyond other digital interface

products on the market. With the first groundbreaking HDMI parts, PanelLink

brought a new level of digital quality to mass-market home theater systems.

The latest advances increase audio format support, video resolution and HDMI

port count, while reducing overall system cost. PanelLink products are fully

HDMI 1.0 compliant. As always, Silicon Image has built PanelLink silicon for rapid

integration into consumer electronics system architectures.

The SiI 9021 is a dual-input HDMI receiver that fits directly into home theater

products, such as digital televisions (DTVs), including HDTVs, plasma TVs, LCD

TVs, LCOS TVs and DLP TVs. To improve manufacturers’ time-to-market and

reduce design time, the SiI 9021 is backward compatible with first generation

PanelLink receivers. In addition to all the features in the original PanelLink receivers,

the SiI 9021 has two HDMI input por ts for connecting both a DVD

player and a set-top box to a single television. The SiI 9021 has increased video

resolution to support not only 720p/1080i and 1080p resolutions, but also PC

resolutions up to WSXGA.

The built-in High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) decryption engine

secures the digital link for transmission of valuable high-definition video and audio.

Each SiI 9021 is pre-programmed with unique HDCP keys, providing the highest

level of security while reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.
