HDMI 2.1

HDMI 2.1 Verification IP

Truechip's HDMI Verification IP provides an effective & efficient way to verify the components interfacing with the HDMI interface of an ASIC/FPGA or SoC. Truechip's HDMI VIP is fully compliant with the HDMI 2.1 specification. This VIP is a lightweight VIP with an easy plug-and-play interface so that there is no hit on the design time and the simulation time.
