Digital Interface for Video and Audio

<p>The Digital Interface for Video and Audio (DIVA or DiiVA) was a proposal for a bi-directional <a href="/facts/Audio%2fvideo_interface/8A84UUAn">audio/video interface</a> for transmitting both compressed and uncompressed digital streams. 
It was developed by Synerchip Company, Limited, based in <a href="/facts/Guangzhou/9hxfmEjq">Guangzhou</a> and <a href="/facts/Sunnyvale%2c_California/ghnntvr1">Sunnyvale, California</a>.
</p><p>DIVA supports a downstream data rate (from source to display) of 13.5 Gbit/s which is capable of <a href="/facts/Deep_color/0X7zI9BP">deep color</a> at resolutions higher than 1080p. 
DIVA also supports a 2.25 Gbit/s bi-directional communication data channel that can carry multiple sub-channels (audio, control, compressed video, etc.). 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 <a href="/facts/8b%2f10b_encoding/bxnMBwaC">8b/10b encoding</a>). DIVA was demonstrated at the China Digital Living Forum & Showcase 2008 using a single <a href="/facts/Category_6A_cable/qv2G0J8p">Category 6A cable</a>. The DIVA Promoters Group was formed by <a href="/facts/Changhong/jFfNmL7R">Changhong</a>, Haier, Hisense, Konka, Panda, Skyworth, SVA, <a href="/facts/TCL_Corporation/5DlTEGaY">TCL Corporation</a> and Synerchip. 
In February 2008, the DIVA Promoters Group hoped to finish the specs for DIVA by the end of 2008 and have DIVA chips released in 2009 or 2010.
