EDID pass through via serial channel
First Claim
1. A method for passing Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) or Enhanced-EDID (E-EDID) in an uncompressed multimedia communication system including a video sink side communicatively coupled to a video source side, the method comprising:
- reading EDID data at the video sink side;
in response to successfully reading the EDID data, sending an EDID AVAILABLE packet via a serial backward channel to the video source side;
receiving from the video source side a REQUEST via a serial forward channel to indicate the video sink side can send the EDID data; and
sending the EDID data to the video source side via the serial backward channel.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for passing Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) or Enhanced-EDID (E-EDID) in an uncompressed multimedia communication system including a video sink side communicatively coupled to a video source side. An EDID AVAILABLE packet is communicated via a serial backward channel from the video sink side. A REQUEST is communicated to the video sink side via a serial forward channel to indicate the video sink side can send the EDID data. The EDID data is then communicated to the video sink side via the serial backward channel.

8. An uncompressed multimedia communication system for passing Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) or Enhanced-EDID (E-EDID) from a video sink side to a video source side, the system comprising:
-
a video sink side asymmetric serial multimedia interface (ASMI) configured for reading EDID data at the video sink side, and in response to successfully reading the EDID data, sending an EDID AVAILABLE packet via a serial backward channel to the video source side;
a video source side ASMI sending to the video source side a REQUEST via a serial forward channel to indicate the video sink side can send the EDID data, and receiving the EDID data from the video sink side via the serial backward channel. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
