Digital Interface for Video and Audio
The Digital Interface for Video and Audio (DIVA) is a bi-directional audio/video interface for transmitting both compressed and uncompressed digital streams. DIVA supports a downstream data rate (from source to display) of 13.5 Gbit/s which is capable of Deep Color at resolutions higher than 1080p.[1] DIVA also supports a 2.25 Gbit/s bi-directional communication data channel that can carry multiple sub-channels (audio, control, compressed video, etc...).[1] This gives DIVA a raw bi-directional data rate of 18 Gbit/s or a usable bi-directional data rate of 14.4 Gbit/s (because of 8b/10b encoding).[2] DIVA was demonstrated at the China Digital Living Forum & Showcase 2008 using a single CAT6A cable.[3] The DIVA Promoters Group is made up of Changhong, Haier, Hisense, Konka, Panda, Skyworth, SVA, TCL and Synerchip.[4] The DIVA Promoters Group is hoping to finish the specs for DIVA by the end of 2008 and have DIVA chips released in 2009 or 2010.[2]
