Flat panel controller allows custom monitors up to 4K UHD
As the first industry solution of this kind, it also offers cloud connectivity plus an integrated RFID reader for screen unlock authentication. The 4K UHD CRTtoLCD-91 flat panel controller is based on the Himax HX6310-A scaler chip and supports flat panel displays with 4K-UHD up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz. Thanks to content-dependent backlight control and new scaling algorithms, displays – even of non-native 4K content – are exceptionally brilliant and sharp. An optional industry-first HF RFID reader with NFC support and WiFi cloud connection can be plugged onto the controller board. Later this year, a UHF RFID reader with a range of up to 10 meters will be added as an option for logistics applications. With a comprehensive range of on-screen display functions, as well as extended configuration and scripting options for OEM-specific designs, the intelligent LCD controller board also provides all features OEMs need to develop custom monitors, displays and control panels. For the connection of flatpanel displays, there are 8 VbyOne lanes at 3.75 Gbps/lane, or 4 eDP 1.2a lanes at 5.4 Gbps/lane. RGB color formats up to 30-bit depth and CYbCr (420/422/444) are supported. Graphics and HDCP 1.4/2.2 protected content is handled via DisplayPort 1.4 or DVI/HDMI 2.0.
Additional interfaces include Dolby 7.1 audio and analog stereo sound, dual USB for touch functionality as well as keyboard/mouse and 1x USB for client connection to embedded computer systems.
Digital and analog GPIOs – e.g. for fan control and intrusion detection – as well as a serial interface (USB to RS232) for industrial peripherals complete the range of interfaces.
