Abstract:
Reducing decision based filter error propagation by feedback from a physical coding sublayer (PCS) to a slicer. One method includes: receiving a frame comprising symbols of at least two different modulation orders that use subsets of a symbol superset; slicing the received symbols according to the highest modulation order by a slicer having slicing functions suitable for the different modulations; identifying frame boundaries and modulation information, which are modulated according to a predetermined modulation order; using the identified modulation information for determining the modulation of a nonempty set of dynamically modulated symbols in the received frame; and providing the slicer with an indication of which slicer function output to use for feeding a decision based filter.

Abstract:
Emulating HDMI-CEC devices, sub networks, or messages, including selecting the properties of an HDMI-CEC device to be emulated from at least two devices representing different functionalities, and initiating spoofed CEC messages. One of the methods includes selecting an initiator CEC logical address to emulate, and initiating a CEC message comprising the selected CEC logical address that is not unregistered logical address and does not represent a functionality of the device that actually initiated the CEC message.
Abstract:
Methods for CEC logical address assignments and HDMI physical address assignments. Some embodiments determine a required HDMI physical address to be assigned to an upstream HDMI-CEC device and provide the required HDMI physical address. Other embodiments assign consistent CEC logical addresses to a plurality of HDMI-CEC display devices in different HDMI-CEC network views.
Abstract:
A daisy chain device including a first active mode of operation and a second low power mode of operation. In the first active mode of operation the daisy chain device supplies or receives multimedia data containing at least two types of data. In the second low power mode of operation the daisy chain device relays only predefined data types and consumes less power. Wherein the daisy chain connection includes wires and the transmissions in the different modes of operation are over the same wires.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Methods and systems for establishing new streaming sessions based on capabilities of their destinations, including the steps of: receiving a request to establish a new streaming session over a new path, in presence of an existing streaming session. Receiving capabilities of a destination of the new streaming session. Allocating for the new streaming session a limit for an allowable end-to-end latency variation thereof, based on the capabilities. Estimating, before the new streaming session is established, an estimated end-to-end latency variation of the new streaming session, supposing it is established over the first path. Determining, based on comparing the estimated end-to-end latency variation with the limit, that the estimated end-to-end latency variation exceeds the limit. And rejecting the request, based on the determination.
