A system for sending multimedia data between a first High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) component and a second HDMI component that is engaged with a displayer of multimedia data includes a first Digital Visual Interface (DVI) component receiving HDCP-encrypted multimedia data from the first HDMI component over a wire. A wireless transmitter sends data from the first DVI component to a wireless receiver, preferably at 60 GHz, and the receiver in turn sends the data to a second DVI component. Neither DVI component encrypts or decrypts data. The second DVI component sends the multimedia data to a second HDMI component for decryption and display on, e.g., an LCD or plasma display.

A method and apparatus is provided in which a digital image is transmitted to a presentation projector resource over a wireless transmission medium using a reduced amount of transmission bandwidth by transmitting a subset of the digital image data. The subset image data may be a delta subset that represents those areas of the image that have changed since the previous transmission. The subset image data may also be a scalable vector graphics representation of the subset of the digital image. Header data is provided to further describe the subset image data. A projector discovery logic selects a suitable projector resource based on the order or signal strength of the discovery replies. A wireless image transmission session is established with the selected projector resource during which the projector is unavailable to other devices. The subset image data may be compressed and transmission coordinated with the projector resource so that the data is sent only when it is ready to be received. A wireless to digital visual interface (DVI) graphics engine decompresses and renders the image for output to a DVI connector receptacle. The rendered image is projected by the projector resource in accordance with the associated header data so that the exact image that appears on the image generation device also appears on the projected display.

A bus switch chip is limited to operating with a power-supply voltage of 1.8 volts relative to a 0-volt ground. Differential bus signals switched through the bus switch chip swing from 2.7 to 3.3 volts, well above the chip's specified power-supply voltage. The bus switch chip is level-shifted by applying a 1.5-volt signal as the chip's ground, and a 3.3-volt signal as its power supply, so the chip's net power supply is within the specification at 1.8 volts. High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and Digital Visual Interface (DVI) require that the differential signals are never driven to ground. However, some non-compliant video transmitters drive differential signals to ground when disabled. External pullup resistors or internal pullup transistors in the bus switch chip are added to the bus signals from non-compliant transmitters to pull disabled signals above the 1.5-volt chip ground to prevent damage from signals below the chip's 1.5-volt ground.
