GMSL*2 signal conversion function

NOTE:

Communication between the CMU and the center display is performed via the GMSL communication line.
The CMU converts signals sent from the following units to a GMSL signal and displays each type of information in the center display.

Output unit	Video signal/display request signal
Remote tuner (RT)	Radio broadcast logo, album art, song name Traffic information such as location and length of traffic jams
USB port/SD card slot hub	Information for file being played (artist/song name)
Devices such as Bluetooth ®-enabled mobile phones and or mobile devices such as Smartphones/Bluetooth ®-enabled devices	Telephone book, incoming call record Radio broadcast logo, album art, song name
Rear mount camera	Image at rear of vehicle
360° view monitor control module	Image at vehicle front Image on left front side of vehicle Image at rear of vehicle Image around vehicle from top of vehicle
CMU	Incoming call pop-up screen display Fuel economy monitor screen Automatic 911 dialing screen display (U.S.A./Canada) Warning guidance screen display Navigation screen display Temperature warning pop-up screen display

By converting the video signal to a GMSL signal, the CMU is able to display stable images in the center display virtually free from the effects of noise.
The GMSL communication pathway between the CMU and the center display corresponds to HDCP*3.

*2:The GMSL displays the electrical properties of the signal using low-voltage differential signaling. GMSL is a digital, wired transmission technology for the short range which adopts a differential interface having the characteristics of low voltage and low power consumption.

*3:HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection system) is a copyright protection technology which prevents content from being copied fraudulently. The pathway in a display device such as a display, which sends/receives digital signals from a video playback device such as a computer, is encrypted.
