Chapter 1: Overview; Applications; Unsupported Features - Xilinx HDMI 1.4 Product Manual

Overview
The HDMI 1.4/2.0 Transmitter Subsystem is a feature-rich soft IP incorporating all the
necessary logic to properly interface with PHY layers and provide HDMI® encoding
functionality. The subsystem is a hierarchical IP that bundles a collection of HDMI
TX-related IP sub-cores and outputs them as a single IP. The subsystem takes incoming
video and audio streams and transfers them to an HDMI stream. The stream is then
forwarded to the video PHY layer.
The subsystem can be configured at design time through a single interface in the Vivado®
Integrated Design Environment (IDE) for performance and quality.

Applications

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a common interface used to transport video
and audio and is seen in almost all consumer video equipment such as DVD and media
players, digital televisions, camcorders, mobile tablets and phones. The omnipresence of
the interface has also spread to most professional equipment such as professional cameras,
video switchers, converters, monitors and large displays used in video walls and public
display signs.
For tested video resolutions for the subsystem see
