• The HDMI* interface supports HDMI with 3D, 4K, Deep Color, and x.v.Color. The
DisplayPort* interface supports the VESA DisplayPort* Standard Version 1,
Revision 2.
• The processor supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for
high-definition content playback over digital interfaces.
• The processor also integrates dedicated a Mini HD audio controller to drive audio
on integrated digital display interfaces, such as HDMI* and DisplayPort*. The HD
audio controller on the PCH would continue to support down CODECs, and so on.
The processor Mini HD audio controller supports two High-Definition Audio streams
simultaneously on any of the three digital ports.
• The processor supports streaming any 3 independent and simultaneous display
combination of DisplayPort*/HDMI*/DVI/eDP*/VGA monitors with the exception of
3 simultaneous display support of HDMI*/DVI . In the case of 3 simultaneous
displays, two High Definition Audio streams over the digital display interfaces are
supported.
• Each digital port is capable of driving resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz
through DisplayPort* and 4096x2304 at 24 Hz/2560x1600 at 60 Hz using HDMI*.
• DisplayPort* Aux CH, DDC channel, Panel power sequencing, and HPD are
