Reverse Control Channel
The serializer uses the reverse control channel to receive
I
2
C/UART, MS, and GPO signals from the deserializer in
the opposite direction of the video stream. The reverse
control channel and forward video data coexist on the
same serial cable forming a bidirectional link. The reverse
control channel operates independently from the forward
control channel. The reverse control channel is available
2ms after power-up. The serializer temporarily disables
the reverse control channel for 500µs after starting/stop
-
ping the forward serial link.
