Silicon Image Announces Industry's First Receiver to Incorporate the Latest
Features of HDMI v1.2 Specification
SiI 9033 Enables AV Receivers to Support All High End Audio Standards for
Purest All-Digital Multimedia Experience for Consumers
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Silicon Image,
(Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for the
secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, today announced the SiI
9033, the industry's first High Definition Multimedia Interface(TM) (HDMI)
receiver to add Super Audio CD (SACD) capability in support of HDMI v1.2
specification. The SiI 9033 enables consumer electronics manufacturers to
build systems which support all hi-end audio, from DVD-Audio to SACD resulting
in the purest all-digital, multimedia experience for consumers.
HDMI has emerged as the de facto digital interface standard for the
consumer electronics market, delivering secure audio and video transmission.
The latest HDMI specification, HDMI v1.2, adds a number of important features
that contribute to the ongoing evolution of the standard. By delivering
crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video quality via a single cable, HDMI
dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the
highest-quality home theater experience.
The SACD format was developed by Sony and Philips Electronics and is an
enhanced audio standard that allows for higher resolution of music, resulting
in remarkably faithful and pure audio reproduction. In addition to enhanced
sound quality, the SACD format can accommodate more than four times the
information of current CD formats, allowing multimedia, multi-channel data to
be stored on CDs.
With the introduction of the first SACD enabled HDMI receiver to
incorporate HDMI v1.2, Silicon Image continues to provide leadership in
supporting the evolution of the market for HDMI," explains Rob Frizzell,
senior marketing manager, Silicon Image. "The SiI 9033 is the third generation
of HDMI receivers produced by Silicon Image, at an even lower cost than the
previous generation, which demonstrates a remarkable amount of progress in a
short period of time. Ultimately, consumers benefit from this ongoing progress
towards the purest multimedia experience."
The SiI 9033 is targeted at consumer electronics manufacturers developing
AV Receivers and Media Receivers. It is a dual-input receiver, which is
backwards compatible with the earlier generation SiI 9031 but adds SACD
support on top of DVD-Audio. High-quality digital audio up to 8-channel,
192kHz can be output on its four I2S outputs. High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection(TM) (HDCP) Repeater functionality is integrated into the device as
well as embedded HDCP keys, providing the most secure environment at the
lowest cost. All past and present Silicon Image receivers continue to be
compliant with the stringent electrical requirements of HDMI v1.2.
Pricing and Availability
The SiI 9033 will begin sampling in October. Pricing is available upon
request. Please contact Silicon Image at www.siliconimage.com for more
