Patent ID: 8429440

Claim:
An integrated circuit package configured to operate in a video display device, the package comprising: input interface circuitry configured to receive audio-video signal comprising an audio-video data stream having embedded timing information associated with the audio-video data of the data stream; input processing circuitry configured to receive audio-video signal and convert the audio-video data stream input into a low voltage differential signal (LVDS) that is output as a differential audio-video signal; and timing controller configured to receive said different audio-video signal and comprising: timing extraction circuitry for receiving the differential audio-video signal comprising a stream of data symbols, the circuitry configured to identify a timing pattern for the differential signal using the embedded timing information; a set of symbol buffers configured to receive the data symbols of the differential signal; a scheduler configured to populate the set of symbol buffers with said data symbols in a pattern consistent with the embedded timing information; and timing control circuitry configured to support a display device for displaying the differential signal, wherein the timing control circuitry is arranged to forward said data symbols from the symbol buffers at a specified time associated with characteristics of the display device.
