Abstract:
1. A multimedia integrated circuit package configured to operate in a multimedia source device, the package comprising: a data interface enabling interconnection with a data link and enabling transmission of a multimedia signal through the data link for receipt by a multimedia sink device connected to the interface through the data link; a default transmission module configured to send a transmitted multimedia signal in a selected format; a toggleable hot plug message detection circuitry configured to detect when the package is connected with said data link, the hot plug message detection circuitry having an on state and an off state configured such that when the hot plug message detection circuitry is in the off state, it cannot detect hot plug events and when the hot plug message detection circuitry is in the on state, it detects hot plug events occurring when connecting a multimedia sink device with the system; and wherein a data transmission response is different for a detected hot plug event than for an undetected hot plug event.
