Block Diagram

The block diagram shows the MS2109S relationship between HD RX input, video/audio processing, UVC/UAC encoding, USB 2.0 Device, I2S/SPDIF audio interfaces, MCU, programmable IO, EEPROM, PMU/PLL, and Memory Controller.
HD RX Input
- RGB444, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2, and YCbCr 4:2:0 color spaces.
- Deep Color 24 / 30 / 36-bit modes.
- CEA-861-E and CEA-861-F video formats.
- HDCP 1.4 support.
- Maximum input resolution:
4096 × 2160 @ 30Hz(RGB444, YCbCr444)4096 × 2160 @ 60Hz(YCbCr420)
USB Capture Output
- Integrated USB 2.0 Device, compatible with USB 1.1 Device mode.
- USB video complies with UVC 1.0.
- USB audio complies with UAC 1.0.
- USB video output supports YUV422 and MJPEG modes.
- Default maximum USB video output resolution is
1920 × 1080 @ 60Hz. - Low-latency operation is supported; when input and output frame rates are equal, the official page describes latency as close to zero.
Audio Features
- USB audio default
48 kHzstereo output. - Two I2S inputs.
- One I2S output and one SPDIF output.
- Mixing of two I2S input audio streams with HD RX input audio.
Clock, Power, Reset, and Package

Typical Applications
- USB 2.0 HD capture cards
- Low-latency 1080p60 UVC video capture devices
- Capture modules requiring I2S / SPDIF digital-audio interfaces
- Video conferencing, live streaming, recording, and education capture devices
- Portable capture products for PCs, smartphones, and tablets
Design Notes
- MS2109S supports 4K input, but the default maximum USB video output is
1920 × 1080 @ 60Hz; distinguish input capability from USB output capability during system design. - Low-latency behavior depends on equal input/output frame rates and the actual firmware, host, and application configuration.
- USB2.0 bandwidth is limited; MJPEG/YUV422 output modes, resolution, and frame-rate combinations should be validated with the target host.
- Designs using HDCP 1.4 should confirm licensing, key handling, and content-protection compliance.
- Production designs should be based on the authorized MacroSilicon SDK, firmware, reference design, and board-level validation.
