1. Introduction
This evaluation board (EVB) , AL362B-EVB-A0 EVB demonstrates AL362 4K Quad display ability with HDMI video signals. THIS EVB includes IT6604 HDMI Receivers, IT6604 which supports four 1080 FHD inputs, and its function can be enabled through AL362’s internal MCU.
There are two output ports designed with this EVB, One is HDMI output through HDMI transmitter chip (Silicon Image Sil9176), the other one is digital output connector through the AL362 output bus.
There is copious hardware designed in this EVB, such as keypads, GPIO. It can demonstrate many video display mode and users interface functions, such as 4K quad view, 4K picture-in-picture and 4K full screen. These functions can be uploaded by an USB Debug Tool.
1.1 Key Features
Four 1080 60p HDMI signal inputs and 4K2K HDMI output.
4K2K quad view, PiP, PoP and full screen display.
ISP (In-System-Program) program upload supported.
1.2 Application
Video processing for PiP, PoP, Quad video view and conversion
Multi-view and Quad display for monitor
