Description

Technical Field

[0002] DisplayPort (DP for short) is a digital video interface standard standardized by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). Its DP1.4 version interface specification requires support for a maximum video resolution of 7680x4320 and a 60Hz refresh rate output. It is widely used in the video input and output interfaces of various display sources and display devices such as computers, monitors, TVs, projectors, etc.

[0003] The DP AUX channel is an auxiliary channel of the DP interface, which is mainly used to read the extended display identification data (EDID); read the DP interface information supported by the display (such as the number of main channels, the transmission rate of DP signals, etc.); set various display configuration registers; read the display status register, etc. It plays a vital role in the DP transmission process and must exist in the DP interface.

[0004] In the actual transmission process, the DP signal (including AUX channel information) is affected by step-by-step attenuation, linear attenuation and interference signals, which limits the transmission distance of the DP signal in some applications.
