    Abstract: A power-saving method for switching High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) ports on a sink device is provided. The sink device has a first HDMI port initially being enabled for displaying and a second HDMI port being disabled for displaying. The power-saving method includes the steps of using the reference signals to locate the VSYNC active edge in each frame generated by a source device connected to the second HDMI port; turning on the power to the second HDMI port during a power-on region corresponding to the VSYNC active edge in each frame and turning off power otherwise; obtaining information related to a high bandwidth digital content protection (HDCP) in the power-on region; and displaying video data from the source device based on the HDCP information when enabling the second HDMI port connected to the source device.
