November 2010 SiBEAM, Inc. SB-UG-0004-B 4 Purpose of this Document This document provides customers with all the information necessary to allow them to utilize SiBEAM’s SK9210TX-HS WirelessHD module. It takes the user through an explanation of the system components, operation and bring-up while also describing the basic system configuration and diagnostics. It is expected that user of the SK9210TX-HS have some basic knowledge of the WirelessHD (WiHD) specification. If not, the user should review the major operation points of the specification to better understand the operation of the module. Introduction The SK9210TX-HS module provides a complete WiHD solution. The module is meant to be placed inside a Notebook PC’s DisplayMini Card (DMC) socket. Alternatively, the SK9210TX-HS may be placed into a DMC adapter board provided by SiBEAM (SK9200DMCA). The setup of the SK9210TX-HS is simple. Inserting the DMC board into the DMC socket and then properly placing the RF module in position followed by powering up the PC. A software applications tool, the WirelessHD Applications Controller (WAC), is provided to control the module in the PC. Terminology The following terms are used thru out this document. Audio Video Control (AVC) – the command structure defined in the WiHD specification used between WiHD stations and coordinator. Consumer Electronics Control bus (CEC) – the control bus defined in the HDMI specification which is used to pass command and other information between HDMI connected devices. DMCA (DisplyMini Card Adapter) Board – a reference adapter board with USB and HDMI inputs which are provided to a DMC socket on board. An SK9210TX-HS can be plugged into this socket and the adapter board may be plugged into any PC with USB and HDMI outputs to create a functioning solution. Embedded CPU – the 32-bit embedded CPU inside the SB9220 or SB9221 that runs all the WiHD protocol management between a source and sink device. Host Microcontroller – the Atmel AT91SAM7S series microcontroller on the HDMI Interface board which provides over control of the WiHD board and standalone operation. In development, the majority of the code running in this microcontroller will be ported to the host processor which runs the system. Line of Sight (LOS) - uninterrupted or blocked transmission from the WiHD Transmitter Module to the WiHD Receiver Module. Non Line of Sight (NLOS) - a transmission from the WiHD Transmitter Module which is not LOS and travels by bouncing off one or more objects before reaching the WiHD Receiver Module. SBAM2 – SiBEAM’s Application Manager tool for the PC to monitor status, set configuration and control other parameters of the WiHD Transmitter and Receiver Modules. SBAM2 is used for the second generation SK9200 kits.
November 2010 SiBEAM, Inc. SB-UG-0004-B 5 Sink – a system which receives and renders A/V from a source device. This typically is a DTV or similar device. The WiHD Receiver Module can be considered a wireless A/V sink when it is connected to another A/V sink over HDMI. Sink devices may be a video sink, audio sink or audio/video (A/V) sink. SK9210TX-HS – the WirelessHD module including the DMC board, cable and RF board. Full schematics, BOM and layout files are available. Source – a system providing A/V to a sink device. This may be a DVD player, Set Top Box or A/V signal generator. The WiHD Transmitter Module can be considered a wireless A/V source when it is connected to another A/V source over HDMI. Source devices may be a video sources, audio source or audio/video (A/V) source. The SK9210TX-HS is a source device. WAC (WirelessHD Applications Controller) – Application tool which runs on the PC to control and monitor the SK9210TX-HS in a Notebook PC. WiHD Receiver Board – WiHD board which includes the SB9221 Network Processor and SB9211 RF HRRX Transceiver. WiHD Transmitter Board – WiHD board which includes the SB9220 Network Processor and SB9210 RF HRTX Transceiver. WVAN – Wireless Video Area Network. A network consisting of at least one WiHD enabled device which acts as a WiHD coordinator for the network. Additional stations may join or be added to the WVAN.
November 2010 SiBEAM, Inc. SB-UG-0004-B 6 Getting Started SK9210TX-HS Contents The following items are included in a SK9210TX-HS module: • DMC board • Cable • RF board Unpacking the Module The module will come with the two boards already connected. The only action by the user upon opening the packaging is to locate the DMC board and the RF board as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. SK9210TX-HS Module Customer Supplied Equipment The customer should have available a Notebook PC with a DMC slot available and accessible. The RF board is typically mounted on the backside (outward facing) of the LCD panel with the cable running thru the hinge assembly. RF board shall be positioned to provide at least 0.65 cm from the end user. 0.65 cm distance is measured by positioning the display section of notebook/Netbook/Laptop computers perpendicular to the keyboard section. Measure the distance from the nearest point of antenna to the bottom of host. The PC should be running the 64-bit version of Windows 7. The SK9210TX-HS can support a number of audio and video formats as listed in Table 1 and Table 2. Also included but not listed are 3D video formats. The host equipment must be labeled with the following text: “Contains TX module FCC ID: UK2-SK9210TX-HS” and /or “Contains TX module IC: 6705A-SK9210TXHS”. The customer will also need a WirelessHD enabled sink device. There are a number of options for this available on the market or they may use SiBEAM’s SK9200 reference design with the Rx module.

Step 1: Make sure all power is off on the Notebook PC and remove the battery. Open up the Notebook PC so that DMC socket is accessible. This may require the removing of other boards/screws and plastic coverings. Step 2: Insert the DMC board into the DMC socket. The socket is keyed so the board can only fit in on direction. Step 3: Install the RF board into position. This typically will also involve opening up the LCD panel to provide access to the RF board location. Depending on the PC configuration, it may be necessary to unplug the cable between the DMC and RF board to do the installation. It’s typically easiest to unplug the cable from the RF board and route the cable around other boards and thru the hinge assembly. If unplugged, plug back in the cable between the DMC and RF board once the RF board is in position. Step 4: Close up the PC installing all boards, cables and plastic enclosures. Step 5: Power on the Notebook PC. Make sure that the PC comes up with normal operation as expected. Step 6: Install the WAC as described in the following section. Step 7: Place the Notebook PC within range of a WiHD sink device (<10m) and power on the sink device. Step 8: Start the WAC and go to the Network tab. Select Refresh List to see the list of available WVAN’s. The WVAN for the sink device powered up should be listed. Step 8: Select the appropriate WVAN and press the Connect button. The A/V should start playing on the sink device after approximately 8-15 seconds.

November 2010 SiBEAM, Inc. SB-UG-0004-B 10 WirelessHD Applications Controller (WAC) The WirelessHD Applications Controller (WAC) is provided for end user control over the SK9210TX-HS. Thru the WAC, the end user is able to connect/disconnect from a WVAN, see operating performance and update code on the module. Figure 4 shows the Status screen of the WAC. In this screen the user is able to see the signal strength achieved, if the module is Associated in a WVAN or if there is an active Connection. The signal strength can be used to provide guidance should there be bad image quality and the user may use this information to move the source or sink to a better location for reception. Figure 4. WAC Status Screen The Network screen is shown in Figure 5. This is the main screen used to make an active connection to a display. In this screen the user can see the available WVAN’s and select and connect to a particular WVAN. The HR and LR channel used by the WVAN is also shown.

WAC Network Screen The Info screen of the WAC (Figure 6) is used to show what A/V formats are being transmitted and which code versions are running on the module. The code versions will consist of embedded code run on the embedded CPU of the SB9220 and the host code run on the Atmel host microcontroller. Figure 6. WAC Info Screen The Advanced screen of the WAC (Figure 7) is used to for code updates. When selected, additional pop-up windows will ask for the location of the new code to update and then start the update process. The code update time takes approximately 5-7 minutes.
