Method and system for video and auxiliary data transmission over a serial link

摘要

Transmitter, a communication system comprising a receiver, and a serial link is disclosed. In the communication system, the encoded data (e.g., video, audio, and optionally other auxiliary data) is transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver. The serial link is a TMDS link but may be a TMDS-like link or need not be the case. In a typical embodiment, the packets of encoded audio data are transmitted via one or more channels in each link for the data island between the video encoded data burst. Further features of the present invention to a transmitter and method for transmitting, encoded data through the receiver, and a serial link to receive such data to be used for transmission of encoded data over a serial link.
