Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
High-quality content reproduction is to be realized. A transmission clock is supplied from a sink (repeater) device to a source device via a clock signal line. The source device sends content data to the sink (repeater) device via a predetermined number of differential signal lines in synchronization with the transmission clock supplied from the sink (repeater) device. High-quality content reproduction can be performed in the sink (repeater) device, without the use of any additional lines other than the differential signal lines and the clock signal line. For example, upon receipt of a transmission clock supply request from the source device, the sink (repeater) device supplies the transmission clock to the source device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A transmission device comprising: a transmission clock receiving circuit that receives a transmission clock from an external device via a differential clock signal line; a synchronization circuit that synchronizes content data with the received transmission clock to generate synchronized content data; and a data transmitting circuit that transmits the synchronized content data to the external device via a predetermined number of differential signal…
