Media Interface Modules
The
Media Interface Module
cares for the adaption of the
Video Dragon
basicCON4121
to the respective test object. By the multitude of
transmission standards to exchange multimedia data used in the
automotive industry, a universal link is not possible otherwise.
A transmission system always consists of a transmitter and a receiver
suitable for that. The transmitter is also called “Serializer”, as it is
serializing the Video data created by a graphic chip mostly in parallel.
This way the data can be transferred via a few wires.
The “Deserializer” (receiver) reconverts the serial data into a parallel
data stream, to provide it e.g. to a display.
As described in chapter
, there are two module classes,
making the
Video Dragon
either to a Video Generator (transmitter) or
to a Video Grabber (receiver).
Therefore Generator modules always contain a Serializer,
while Grabber modules always contain a Deserializer.
The following example shows a Grabber module:
The connectors at this
