PRODUCTION DATA
I2S audio may be fanned-out and propagated in the repeater application. By default, data is propagated via data island transport on the FPD-Link interface during the video blanking periods. If frame transport is desired, connect the I2S pins from the deserializer to all serializers. Activating surround sound at the top-level serializer automatically configures downstream serializers and deserializers for surround-sound transport utilizing data island transport. If 4-channel operation utilizing I2S_DA and I2S_DB only is desired, this mode must be explicitly set in each serializer and deserializer control register throughout the repeater tree (Section 7.7).
A DS90UB948-Q1 deserializer configured in repeater mode may also regenerate I2S audio from its I2S input pins in lieu of data island frames. See Figure 7-11 and the I2C Control Registers (Section 7.7) for additional details.
