Description
An indication from the HDMI sink to the HDMI source
that there is a device connected. The Hot Plug
voltage is a steady. In the case of a repeater, it is a
100ms pulse.
A voltage from an HDMI source to the HDMI sink to
power the hot plug voltage. The +5V is a steady
voltage nominally 5 volts.
A data set in the HDMI sink that describes its
capabilities to a connected source device. This data is
transmitted over the DDC channel.
Content protection authentication and encryption
transactions. The source initiates HDCP for protected
content. Various values and registers are exchanged
over the DDC.
CEC messages are transmitted over a one wire CEC
bus. These messages are monitored through the ACA
The DDC channel uses the I2C protocol. Errors in the
I2C protocol are shown in the ACA transactions.
