Intel E3-1280 v3 CM8064601467001 User Manual

Embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*) is an embedded version of the DisplayPort standard

oriented towards applications such as notebook and All-In-One PCs. Digital Port D can

be configured as eDP. Like DisplayPort, Embedded DisplayPort also consists of a Main

Link, Auxiliary channel, and an optional Hot-Plug Detect signal.

The eDP on the processor can be configured for 2 or 4 lanes.

The processor supports Embedded DisplayPort* (eDP*) Standard Version 1.2 and

VESA Embedded DisplayPort* Standard Version 1.2.

•

HDMI and display port interfaces carry audio along with video.

•

Processor supports two DMA controllers to output two High Definition audio

streams on two digital ports simultaneously.

•

The processor will continue to support Silent stream. Silent stream is an integrated

audio feature that enables short audio streams, such as system events to be heard

over the HDMI and DisplayPort monitors. The processor supports silent streams over

the HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz,

176.4 kHz, and 192 kHz sampling rates.

The following multiple display configuration modes are supported (with appropriate

driver software):
•

Single Display is a mode with one display port activated to display the output to

one display device.

•

Intel Display Clone is a mode with up to three display ports activated to drive the

display content of same color depth setting but potentially different refresh rate

and resolution settings to all the active display devices connected.

•

Extended Desktop is a mode with up to three display ports activated to drive the

content with potentially different color depth, refresh rate, and resolution settings

on each of the active display devices connected.

The digital ports on the processor can be configured to support DisplayPort*/HDMI/

DVI. For Desktop designs, digital port D can be configured as eDPx4 in addition to

dedicated x2 port for Intel FDI for VGA. The following table shows examples of valid

three display configurations through the processor.
