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.
