PRODUCTION DATA.
In dual-link mode, the FPD-Link III TX splits a single video stream and sends alternating pixels on two downstream links. The receiver must be a DS90UB940-Q1 or DS90UB948-Q1 that can receive the dual-stream video. Dual-link mode can support an HDMI clock frequency of up to 210 MHz, with each FPD-Link III TX port running at one-half the frequency. This allows support up to 2880x1080. The secondary FPD-Link III link could be used for high-speed control. Note that dual link can support 170MHz when paired with DS90UB940-Q1 and 192MHz when paired with DS90UB948-Q1.
Dual-link mode may be automatically configured when connected to a DS90UB940-Q1/DS90UB948-Q1, if the video meets minimum frequency requirements. Dual Link mode may also be forced using the DUAL_CTL1 register.
For dual lane operation, if the High-Speed Control Channel (HSCC) is desired, force the back channel capabilities for Port 1.
Any device configuration, including this one, should be written as a part of the Init A sequence as shown in Figure 33.
