Parallel Generator
SVP-01-GEN
The parallel generator board SVP-01-GEN converts video signals input via USB3.0 or DisplayPort to parallel interface.
This board can output recorded video to an image processor like images from a camera module or a CMOS image sensor, so it can be used as a camera emulation board. Computer Graphics images that are saved on a PC can also be used. It is helpful for developing image processors, even when recording on site is difficult and when sensors are under development or unavailable.
Output timing such as blanking area and frame rate can be set as desired for flexible camera emulation.
Characteristics
- Supports parallel output up to 32bit 150MHz
- Supports input from USB3.0 (Vendor Class) or DisplayPort
- Supports 1.9Gbps band in-vehicle serializer
Configuration Example
- DisplayPort input and USB3.0 input are mode switching type, so you can use only one mode all at once.
- By using HDMI to DisplayPort conversion, it is also possible to connect to a PC or other HDMI recording/playback device.
