General Purpose Media Interface (GPMI) is a proprietary audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from a source device, such as a display controller, to a computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio.
Specifications
[edit]GPMI supports data transmission rates up to 192 Gbps, accommodating ultra-high-definition video content such as 8K at 120 frames per second. It can power devices with up to 480 W of power.[1] GPMI combines multiple signal types—including information flow, control signals, power supply, and audio/video—into a single cable, simplifying connectivity. It utilizes a sideband interaction channel to reduce device wake-up times to a quarter of those in comparable technologies. GPMI enables multi-channel bidirectional video transmission and mesh networking. GPMI operates in two modes.
| Standard | Bandwidth | Power delivery | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPMI Type-B | 192 Gbps | 480W | Uses a proprietary connector. |
| GPMI Type-C | 96 Gbps | 240W | Uses USB-C connector. Same power limit as the Extended Power Range (EPR) standard. |
In terms of security, GPMI supports the ADCP content protection protocol. ADCP is based on China's national security cryptographic algorithms, including SM3 and SM4.[2] GPMI was developed by the Shenzhen 8K UHD Video Industry Cooperation Alliance that includes over fifty Chinese member companies, including Huawei, Skyworth, and Hisense.[2][3][4][5][6]
