Silicon Image Delivers Industry's Most Advanced HDMI Receivers

Advanced HDMI and Mobile High-Definition Link(TM) Capabilities Give HDTV
Customers the Best in Features and Compatibility

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At the 2008 International CES,
Silicon Image, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIMG), a leader in semiconductors for the secure
storage, distribution and presentation of high-definition content, today
announced the release of the PinnaClear SiI9223 four-port receiver and the
SiI9127 two-port receiver, two new High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
integrated receivers that deliver the most advanced HDMI 1.3 HDTV features
including 1080p Deep Color and x.v.Color expanded color gamut. The new SiI9223
integrated receiver supports Silicon Image's new Mobile High-Definition Link
(MHL), an industry first that enables mobile devices such as digital cameras
and camera phones to connect to and display high-definition content on digital
televisions (DTVs). The new PinnaClear integrated receivers support Silicon
Image's mission of delivering digital content everywhere.
"Consumer demand for the flawless picture and sound quality provided by
HDMI connectivity continues to escalate the demand for additional HDMI ports
on new HDTVs," said Lew Paceley, DTV marketing director at Silicon Image. "By
providing silicon support for future high definition mobile devices Silicon
Image will give consumers even more ways to enjoy new content on their HDTV."
A series of innovative features makes it easy to integrate the SiI9223 and
SiI9127 into existing HDTV designs. A new auto boot feature eliminates the
need for external microcontroller initialization that can improve the power on
"time to picture" of HDTVs, and a new software application programming
interface (API) provides the framework to greatly reduce firmware development
time. The SiI9223 and SiI9127 support 10-bit and 12-bit Deep Color depths
(4:4:4 RGB or YCbCr).
The SiI9223 and SiI9127 implement a new power management scheme to ensure
very low standby power consumption through an innovation known as "power
islands." Power islands isolate CEC and EDID functions to ensure that only the
minimum active circuitry necessary consumes standby power.
Both devices feature built-in support for the Consumer Electronic Control
(CEC) functionality and integrated Extended Display Identification Data
(EDID). CEC enables manufacturers to add a broad set of command and control
functions that, when deployed, can revolutionize the way devices behave in a
system and allow users to control multiple CEC-enabled devices with a single
remote control. Silicon Image's unique implementation of low power standby
mode enables CEC and EDIDs to function with 5V HDMI cable power from source
devices such as DVD players, set-top boxes and game consoles.
Silicon Image offers one of the most robust and comprehensively tested
technology platforms in the consumer electronics industry. Silicon Image's
experience associated with shipping more than 100 million HDMI/HDCP and
DVI/HDCP semiconductor solutions helps to significantly improve cross-product
interoperability. Silicon Image implements HDCP using its own copyrighted
firmware stack, and performs a triple validation process in the programming of
its HDCP keys to prevent duplicate key programming, selective authentication
problems and corruptions. This validation, complemented by the most advanced
and thorough testing program through Simplay Labs, allows manufacturers to
virtually eliminate issues with cross platform compatibility.
Pricing and Availability
The PinnaClear Sil9223 is priced at $10.49 in 10,000 unit quantities. The
SiI9127 is priced at $8.87 in 10,000 unit quantities and will be available for
general sampling to customers in March 2008. For more information or to reach
