HDMI Video Output
The Stratix IV GX FPGA Development Board, 530 Edition supports a single HDMI
video output port based on the Analog Devices AD9889B HDMI transmitter device.
With the capability of up to 80 MHz operation, this device supports all video
resolutions from 480i to 1080i and UXGA at 60 Hz. This device also features a
programmable two-way color space converter which supports RGB, YCbCr, and
DDR, as well as ITU656-based embedded syncs and an automatic input video format
timing detection (CEA-861B) circuit.
On the digital audio aspect, this device supports standard S/PDIF for stereo LPCM or
compressed audio of up to 192 kHz. This device also supports 8-channel,
uncompressed, LPCM I2S audio of up to 192 kHz. No audio master clock is needed
for supporting S/PDIF and I2S.
This device supports an on-chip microcontroller (MCU) with I

master to perform
HDCP operations and EDID reading operations although the board does not have an
HDCP EEPROM installed by default. The on-chip MPU, accessible from the FPGA
through the serial port, reports HDMI events through interrupts and registers.
