SB9120/SB9110 WirelessHD© HRTX Chipset

9120

 

General Description
The SB9120/SB9110 WirelessHD® HRTX Chipset is part of the world's first complete wireless video-area network (WVAN) solution. The SB9120 network processor, when combined with the SB9110 RF Transceiver, provides all of the functionality needed to enable a complete wireless A/V network, from joining an existing network to setting a WVAN up as a WirelessHD™ Coordinator. Full support for AVC commands, compatible with HDMI-CEC, is provided. Communication with the host processor is over an industry standard I2C interface.

All major uncompressed high-end audio and video formats are supported, from 1080p video to 8 channel 192 kHz audio. Content and data privacy is provided by built in DTCP encryption using AES-128 CTR. Embedded private keys simplify system development.
