Overview

IEC 62889:2015 - "Digital video interface – Gigabit video interface (GVIF) for multimedia systems" - specifies the physical layer of a serial digital video interface designed for high‑speed, uncompressed video interconnection. GVIF uses low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) over a single shielded twisted pair to deliver baseband video (up to 24‑bit colour) for automotive and embedded multimedia systems. The standard defines transmission line characteristics and electrical requirements for transmitters and receivers, but does not include mechanical connector specifications.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard is based on a standard JEITA CP-6101: Digital monitor interface
GVIF that was originally specified by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA).
The gigabit video interface (GVIF) is a serial point to point interface supporting uncompressed
digital video links that was designed to address the needs of automotive navigation and
entertainment systems, etc., to transport base band digital video information. The GVIF
applies low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) technology and makes use of a thin cable
consisting of a single shielded twisted pair of conductors that exhibits high noise immunity
and low EMI, and is optimized for small size and low weight. The GVIF supports display
resolutions ranging from WQVGA through WUXGA with maximum 24 bit per pixel colour video
data, and can transmit base band video signal over cable lengths over 10 m. When paired
with high bandwidth data content protection (HDCP), the GVIF's standard functions and
features address all of the requirements for delivering content protected video from a source
to a video display monitor. Optionally, the GVIF supports audio data transmission and user
data transmission.
The Association of Radio Industry Business (ARIB) refers the GVIF in its standard
ARIB STD-B21 as one of authorized digital video output interfaces.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard is based on a standard JEITA CP-6101: Digital monitor interface
GVIF that was originally specified by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA).
The gigabit video interface (GVIF) is a serial point to point interface supporting uncompressed
digital video links that was designed to address the needs of automotive navigation and
entertainment systems, etc., to transport base band digital video information. The GVIF
applies low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) technology and makes use of a thin cable
consisting of a single shielded twisted pair of conductors that exhibits high noise immunity
and low EMI, and is optimized for small size and low weight. The GVIF supports display
resolutions ranging from WQVGA through WUXGA with maximum 24 bit per pixel colour video
data, and can transmit base band video signal over cable lengths over 10 m. When paired
with high bandwidth data content protection (HDCP), the GVIF's standard functions and
features address all of the requirements for delivering content protected video from a source
to a video display monitor. Optionally, the GVIF supports audio data transmission and user
data transmission.
The Association of Radio Industry Business (ARIB) refers the GVIF in its standard
ARIB STD-B21 as one of authorized digital video output interfaces.

DIGITAL VIDEO INTERFACE –

4 Architecture
Figure 1 illustrates the architecture of the GVIF. The fundamental operation of the GVIF is a
simultaneous bi-directional data transmission technology, in which the low voltage differential
signal is transmitted down from the transmitter side to the receiver side, and the common-
mode voltage signal is transmitted up from the receiver side to the transmitter side through a
shielded twisted differential pair cable.
The shielded twisted pair transmission line has the characteristic impedance Z (see
Figure 10), the line is terminated to VDD by RT of (50 ± 15) Ω on the transmitter side, and is
terminated carrying differential data in RL of (100 ± 5) Ω on the receiver side.

6.2 TX front-end
The TX front-end consists of a termination circuit, a down-stream driver and an up-stream
receiver. The termination circuit consists of 2 resistors RL, and the SDATAP/N differential
signal is pulled up to voltage reference (VDD) with a (50 ± 15) Ω resistor. The down-stream
driver consists of a differential current output circuit that is driven by the serial signal from the
encoder. The up-stream receiver detects the common-mode signal which RX sends through
the shielded twisted pair line. The input to the down-stream driver has two modes. One is the
serialized actual encoded video data input mode and the other is the reference clock signal
for REFREQ hand-shake input mode. These two modes activate depending on the common-
mode signal level. The common-mode signal level is normally high. When a long low level
pulse is detected, the up-stream receiver activates the REFREQ signal, and changes a mode
of the encoder into the reference clock mode. In case of the optional up-stream user data
transmission, the up-stream receiver outputs the common-mode voltage as an UDA signal by
using binary digital data sent to the encoder. In this case, the upper limit of the low pulse time
is 100 µs.
6.3 RX front-end
The Rx front-end consists of AC capacitors, a termination resistor RT (100 ± 5) Ω, a down-
stream receiver and an up-stream driver. The down-stream receiver consists of a differential
input detection circuit which receives the transmission potential differential signal through the
shielded twisted pair line. The up-stream driver drives the up-stream transmission signal
applying a current through the termination resistor Rx through the shielded twisted pair
transmission line. (A recommended transmission system and transmission line for electrical
characteristics is specified in Clause 5.)

7 Transition state link
The transition state link of GVIF shall meet the procedure described below.
There are two states in the connection link between GVIF TX and GVIF RX. One is the state
transmitting differential signal with a reference clock, the other is the state transmitting the H
format word or the C format word. In the former state, the TX encoder is in the reference clock
output mode and the RX decoder is in the reference clock request mode. In the later state, the
TX encoder changes into the encoder mode and the RX decoder changes into the decoder
mode. The state transition switching diagram of the encoder and the decoder is shown in the
Figure 5.

TX.
Transition1 : Transition to the reference clock request mode after finding an irregular HSYNC when the
RX decodes.

detected.
State2 : The TX transmits down the reference clock, and the RX adjusts the internal sampling clock.
Transition3 : The RX transits to the decoder mode after the internal sampling clock adjustment.
State3 : The RX transmits up the inactivate signal REFREQ.
Transition4 : The TX transits to the encoder mode when the inactivate signal REFREQ is detected.
State4 : P[23:0] transmits continuously the H/C format word equivalent all zero until the TX transmits
(VSYNX, HSYNC) (1,1) → (1,0) 60 times.
Transition5 : Return to normal when the signal has been transmitted 60 times.

8 Protocol
8.1 General
The encoder encodes the 30 bit of data (P[23:0], HSYNC, VSYNC, DE, CNTL, SDA and TDA)
in synchronization with the input of SFTCLK, and outputs 1 bit of the serial signal S to the TX
front-end.
To ensure the DC balance data and a reasonable transition, it is required to generate a
synchronization pattern for each word in synchronization with the falling edge of HSYNC at
the receiver.
8.2 Encoder
The encoder encodes the full 30 bit of input data (P[23:0], HSYNC, VSYNC, DE, CNTRL, SDA
and TDA) synchronized with SFTCLK, and outputs a 1 bit serial signal S to the TX front-end.
The signal is coded after dividing into the following data.
a) Broadband data P[23:0] (24 bits), no transition data.
b) Time mark data HSYNC, VSYNC, DE, CNTL, SDA and TDA (6 bit).
Transition frequency of the signal is limited by the logical specification coding.
The broadband data are normally converted to 1 bit data, but in case of the time mark data,
the transition is converted to 1 bit data. When there is no transition in the time mark data the
broadband data are converted to the C format with 20 % overhead. When there is a time mark
transition, the broadband data are converted to the H format with 6 bit header and 24 bit
broadband data.
The broadband data and the time mark data are output as a serial signal S led by the MSB
after conversion into a 30 bit length C format word or H format word.
The C format word is used when there is no time mark data transition at the previous pixel
clock cycle, and the H format word is used when there is/are one or more time mark data
transition(s) at the previous pixel clock cycle. (See Figure 6).

The H format is generated by a combination of the 24 bit broadband data P[23:0] with a 6 bit
header that indicates the transition state of a time mark, see Figure 8. The positions of even
numbers of the broadband data P are inverted in the serial data S. The structure of the
header is shown in Table 6.

The down-stream transmission signal are the encoded serial P[23:0], HSYNC, VSYNC, DE,
CNTL/AUX, SDA and TDA 30 bit data by the GVIF TX encoder. These data are in all of the
SFTCLK domains, and they can be re-generated by the GVIF RX decoder. The encoder and
decoder are performed in accordance with Clause 7.
The LOS signal output on the receiver side is asserted when GVIF RX receives no differential
signal input or the clock and data recovery circuit in GVIF RX does not generate recovered
SFTCLK (loss of lock).
There are optional functions for down-stream and up-stream user defined signal
transmissions with terminal name CNTL/AUX and TDA for down-stream and UDA for up-
stream as shown in Figure A.1. AUX can also optionally use an audio enable signal.
Additionally, HDCP (high-bandwidth digital contents protection) is also defined as an optional
function. The I2C inputs for both GVIF TX and GVIF RX are input terminals to control the
HDCP authentication function. The SDA (optional) is generated by an I2C signal order, i.e. a
signal to exchange a HDCP key between GVIF TX and GVIF RX.
