basicCON 4121 – User Manual
As you can see in the tables, most modules support several standards,
as they often have a mode for backward compatibility to previous
systems.
The modules have different connectors, more detailed described in the
chapters regarding the corresponding module. As a rule, a Generator
module has only one connector, used as video output. Mostly Grabber
modules have two connectors, as they receive video data at the input
for handling, and routing them through preferably unchanged to the
output (to be further used by the system).
The ICs on the modules often have a lot of configuration registers,
determining the transmit/ receive mode and including all parameters
required for data transmission.
Generally this configuration depends on the test object and its
parameter settings. For proper working of the
Media Interface Module
,
the module configuration has to be executed by the user, and also the
right Video signal Routing must be set (see
chapter).
The module configuration is described more detailed in chapter
by means of an example, or in the manual of the
LvdsViewer tool.
