side-channel data

English to French Tech/Engineering Patents TMDS, coding, transmitter, encoded data, multiplexing, channel one, channel n,

Turning now to the receiver of the TMDS link, as shown in FIG. 4, the receiver 60 recovers the video data, side-channel data, control signals and the DEI signal. The decoder 50B for channel 0 produces a recovered DE signal, i.e., DEout0. Similarly, the decoders 52B,
54B for channels 1 and 2 produce recovered DE signals DE0Utl and DE0Ut2, respectively.

In contrast, methods according to embodiments of the invention preserve sync signal locations as if the side channel does not exist. As noted above, the present invention relates generally to serial interface transmission systems designed for transmitting over more
than one data line, where the transmission system encodes content data (including primary data and side channel data) and data enable signal data using in-band and out-of-band characters and where the primary data flow is not continuous. Also as noted above, embodiments of the invention transmit the side channel data by exploiting part of the blanking period. The blanking period occurs when the primary data flow is temporarily stopped
