CAT6613 is a high-performance HDMI 1.3 transmitter, fully compliant with HDMI 1.3, HDCP 1.2
and backward compatible to DVI 1.0 specifications. The CAT6613 supports color depth of up to 36 bits
(12 bits/color) and ensures robust transmission of high-quality uncompressed video content, along
with state-of-the-art uncompressed and compressed digital audio content such as DTS-HD and Dolby
TrueHD in DVD/HD-DVD/Bluray players and settop boxes.
Aside from the various video output formats supported, the CAT6613 also encodes and transmits up
to 8 channels of I2S digital audio, with sampling rate up to 192kHz and sample size up to 24 bits. In
addition, an S/PDIF input port takes in compressed audio of up to 192kHz frame rate, while Super
Audio Compact Disc (SACD) is supported through dedicated DSD ports (Direct Stream Digital ports)
at up to 88.2kHz one-bit audio.
The newly supported High-Bit Rate (HBR) audio by HDMI Specifications v1.3 is provided by the
CAT6613 in two interfaces: with the four I2S input ports or the S/PDIF input port. With both interfaces
the highest possible HBR frame rate is supported at up to 768kHz.
Each CAT6613 chip comes preprogrammed with an unique HDCP key, in compliance with the HDCP
1.2 standard so as to provide secure transmission of high-definition content. Users of the CAT6613
need not purchase any HDCP keys or ROMs.
