> Based on what you said, you didn't actually look at HDMI protocol, only the protocol exposed to your HDMI encoder chip.
You are correct. Though as part of my studies (and curiosity, of course) I did end up analyzing the signalling protocol. The side-effect of standardizing line protocols is that it offers an abstraction for the engineers working with it. I didn't have to understand the signalling methods per se to use HDMI in my project.
> FWIW, yes HDMI is still pretty simple, but not as simple as you describe it.
I should have added that at the time I used it, HDMI was still in the 1.0 spec (1080i, 60Hz max), which was effectively DVI. Much has changed since then.
