Abstract
A system and corresponding method for transferring data. Data may be selectively communicated via a USB port of a device. An indication of a device type may be received at the USB port from an external interface. USB protocol data or uncompressed high definition media data may be caused to be selectively supplied to the USB port as a function of the indication. The selected data may be transmitted via the USB port to an external interface. The uncompressed high definition media data may include at least one lane of media data or multimedia data in accordance with a DisplayPort standard. In some embodiments, either USB protocol data or multimedia data comprising audio data and uncompressed high definition video data may be caused to be selectively supplied to the USB port as a function of the indication. The indication may be a data format signal.
