Serial Port
The XD1030 and XD1230 have a built in UART that communicates with the RS-232 level shifter. The MAX232 creates
valid RS-232 voltage levels for the transmit pin by using a capacitive voltage switcher.
Video Encoder and Filter
The BCM7421 streams decoded video using a single-data rate clock. It also streams the same video out of the on-board
DACs.
Audio Outputs
BrightSign XD players each have a single Texas Instruments high quality audio DAC device, which takes in digital audio
signals from the BCM7421 in an I2S audio format. The AUD_LRCIN is the framing signal for the audio and runs at the
frame rate of the audio source (usually either 44.1KHz or 48KHz). The AUD_BITCLK signal is typically 32 times higher
than the AUD_LRCIN.
The audio output is fed through a TI amplifier and sent directly to the audio output jack. It can drive a 32
Ω
load with a 2V
RMS signal.
On-Board LEDs
There are eight on-board LEDs that indicate the following:
