Abstract:
1. In a packet based display interface arranged to couple a multimedia source device to a multimedia sink device that includes a transmitter unit coupled to the source device arranged to receive a source packet data stream in accordance with a native stream rate, a receiver unit coupled to the sink device, and a linking unit coupling the transmitter unit and the receiver unit arranged to transfer a multimedia data packet stream formed of a number of multimedia data packets based upon the source packet data stream in accordance with a link rate that is independent of the native stream rate between the transmitter unit and the receiver unit, a method for generating a pixel clock rate comprising: determining the link rate as a subset of a master frequency 23.76 GHz that is equal to 2 expressing the determined link rate(LR) as A′, B′, C′, D′ where LR=2 expressing the pixel clock rate (PC)as 2 regenerating the pixel clock rate from the link rate as pixel clock rate=(link rate)×(2
