5.1.8.2. Audio Metadata Bundle Bit-Fields

The Audio Metadata (AM) packet carries additional information related to 3D Audio and Multi-Stream Audio (MST).

The core sends the AM packet on the active edge of the V-SYNC signal to ensure that the packet is sent once per field. The signal bundle of audio_metadata[165:0] is clocked by ls_clk for Support FRL = 0 designs and by vid_clk for Support FRL = 1 designs.

Table 28.  Audio Metadata Bundle Bit-Fields for Packet Header and Control

Table below lists the AM signal bit-fields for packet header (as described in the HDMI 2.0b Specification Section 8.3) and control.

Bit-field Name Description
0 3D_AUDIO
  • 1: Transmits 3D audio
  • 0: Transmits MST audio
2:1 NUM_VIEWS Number of views for an MST stream
4:3 NUM_AUDIO_STR Number of audio streams - 1
165 Control Disables the core from inserting the AM packet.
  • 1: The core does not insert audio_metadata[164:0]. The AM packet on the Auxiliary Data Port passes through.
  • 0: The core inserts audio_metadata[164:0] when audio format[3:0] is 3D audio or MST audio. The core filters the AM packet on the Auxiliary Data Port.
Table 29.  Audio Metadata Bundle Bit-Fields for Packet Content when 3D_AUDIO = 1

Table below lists the AM signal bit-fields for packet content when 3D_AUDIO = 1 (as described in the HDMI 2.0b Specification Section 8.3.1).

Table 30.  Audio Metadata Bundle Bit-Fields for Packet Content when 3D_AUDIO = 0
