Description

Transmission method and system supporting HDMI2.1 signal single-channel input and multi-channel output
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a transmission method and a transmission system supporting single-channel input and multi-channel output of an HDMI2.1 signal.
Background
At present, with the development of ultra high definition industry, 8K technology has become mature, and besides 5G is used for transmission of 8K video, HDMI is the most common one. HDMI2.1 is the HDMI standard that is newly introduced by HDMI. The standard video transmission speed is up to 48Gbps, the video bandwidth is several times higher than 18Gbps of HDMI2.0, 8k transmission is comprehensively supported, products carrying new functions of HDMI2.1 are gradually released in the next several years, and existing HDMI1.4 and HDMI2.0 products are gradually eliminated.
The existing HDMI one-to-many transmission is developed on the basis of HDMI1.4 or HDMI2.0, can only support the resolution signal transmission to the maximum 4K60HZ, and cannot meet the requirement of the current market for the ultra high definition 8K60 HZ.
Because the transmission distance of a common HDMI cable is limited, the common HDMI cable cannot meet the requirements when scenes needing long-distance transmission such as shopping malls, conferences and monitoring are monitored, in the current implementation mode, HDMI signals are amplified to prolong the transmission distance of the HDMI signals or are transmitted in an optical fiber form, the HDMI signals have the problem of signal attenuation, the HDMI signals have too high cost and complex structure, and the HDMI cable is not an optimal selection scheme for transmission within 300 meters generally. Therefore, a new transmission method supporting HDMI2.1 signal mimo is needed.
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are as follows:
(1) the existing HDMI one-to-many transmission can only support the transmission of resolution signals up to 4K60HZ, and cannot meet the requirement of the current market for ultra high definition 8K60 HZ.
(2) The common HDMI cable has a limited transmission distance, and cannot meet the requirements for scenes needing long-distance transmission, such as shopping malls, conferences and monitoring.
(3) In the current implementation mode, the HDMI signals are amplified to prolong the transmission distance of the HDMI signals or the HDMI signals are transmitted in an optical fiber form, the HDMI signals have the problem of signal attenuation, and the HDMI signals have high cost and complex structure, so that the HDMI signals are not the optimal selection scheme for transmission within 300 meters generally.
The difficulty in solving the above problems and defects is: aiming at the problem that the existing HDMI one-to-many transmission only supports 4K60HZ, due to the fact that an HDMI1.4 or HDMI2.0 protocol is adopted, a TMDS 3Channel mode is fixedly used for a data transmission Channel, the maximum transmission bit rate only supports 18Gbps and cannot meet 8K60HZ video transmission, an HDMI source end and a display end do not have an FRL interaction process, the HDMI source end only needs to obtain EDID of the HDMI display end, therefore, the interaction flow needs to be redesigned to support 8K, the FRL mode is supported, and software and hardware need to be redesigned. Aiming at the problems that the existing HDMI transmission adopts the signal amplifier to prolong the transmission distance, the method can bring signal attenuation, the signal stability can be improved by increasing the number of the signal amplifiers, the cost is increased along with the increase of the signal amplifiers, and if the signal is interrupted, the problem of which amplifier appears is difficult to be solved, and the positioning and debugging are inconvenient. For the all-fiber transmission form, long-distance transmission can be realized, but each transmitting end and each receiving end need to add a plurality of photoelectric conversion or electro-optical conversion modules to transmit control signals, and since the control signals need to be communicated in two directions, each photoelectric conversion or electro-optical conversion module needs to have a function of receiving/transmitting signals, the device structure is complicated, and the cost is increased greatly.
The significance of solving the problems and the defects is as follows: because 8K is popularizing at present, a plurality of videos are required to be transmitted remotely under large-screen scenes such as markets, meetings, monitoring and the like, the transmission of 8K60HZ is not supported in the prior art, the realization cost in transmission is higher or the product stability is poor, a scheme is urgently needed, the one-to-many output of 8K60HZ is supported, the product structure and cost can be simplified as far as possible, the remote transmission is realized, and the follow-up ultra high definition development trend is met.

In a specific implementation, the optical splitter in the first device may be designed to output a specified number of sets of optical signals according to the number of HDMI output interfaces, and is not limited to the 4 sets of TMDS outputs illustrated in fig. 2 of the present invention. The optical splitter converts a set of TMDS signals into a plurality of identical optical signals, each of which includes 4 TMDS optical signals.
And step S4, the MCU controller completes FRL interaction with the HDMI display device and the HDMI signal source respectively. In a specific implementation, the MCU controller mainly functions as follows:

The core of the present invention is step S5, in which the MCU performs FRL communication with the HDMI display device and the HDMI source device, but the FRL communication method is not limited to this, and the FRL communication between the HDMI source device and the HDMI display device also falls within the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited by the described order of acts, as some steps may occur in other orders or concurrently with other steps, depending on the embodiment of the invention.
The transmission of the control signal shown in fig. 2 of the present invention uses a copper wire cable, and for other schemes, the transmission is performed in an optical fiber form, and it is within the protection scope of the present invention as long as the HDMI2.1 protocol is used to transmit the signal.
The technical solution of the present invention is further described with reference to the following specific examples.
According to the embodiment of the invention, when the maximum resolutions supported by the HDMI display terminal equipment are inconsistent, the HDMI signal source outputs according to the maximum resolution supported by public. Assuming that the HDMI signal source supports 8K60HZ resolution output, after the HDMI display device is connected to the HDMI output interface of the second device shown in fig. two, the MCU controller reads the EDID of each display device and stores the EDID in the local memory, analyzes the EDID content to obtain the information such as the maximum resolution, the pixel coding format, and the like supported by each display device, obtains the supported public resolution and the supported pixel coding format, and communicates the EDID of one device with the HDMI signal source device as the main EDID. And after the HDMI signal source acquires the main EDID information, the HDMI signal source outputs a video with a public supported resolution. For example, some televisions support 8K, and some support 4K, after being analyzed and processed by the MCU, the HDMI source outputs a 4K resolution video in a unified manner, so as to satisfy normal display of all televisions at the HDMI output end.
And if an HDMI display end device is newly added or disconnected in the video playing process, the MCU renews the EDID list stored locally, acquires the maximum resolution supported by the updated public and interacts with the HDMI source end. If the updated public resolution is consistent with the public resolution before the HDMI display device is newly added or disconnected, the HDMI source only needs to keep outputting the previous resolution; if the resolution is inconsistent, the HDMI source needs to output video according to the updated common resolution.
