Industrial RGB/Video/DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort/3G SDI Converter Board Prisma

		The Prisma converter board series enables TFT displays to be connected to standard graphics interfaces. Input signals like analogue RGB, analogue video (C-VBS, SHVS, component, CCIR), DVI, HDMI (HDCP), Serial Digital Interface 3G SDI or Display Port are thereby converted into a TFT display conform TTL or LVDS signal. Besides the conversion of signals, Prisma boards are scaling the input signal to the appropriate TFT resolution if needed. Apart from scaling the scaler chip offers an OSM (On-Screen-Menu) that enables the user to make personal settings like adjusting the brightness, auto adjust, etc.

The Prisma Family is far more than a series of RGB converters: with a customised OSD menu using the bidirectional RS232 communication (or I²C ) the Prisma board can be used as an interactive control unit . The OSD menu data act as RS232 commands for controlling external units (e.g. vending machines or lighting systems).

Regarding EMC compatibility and interference resistance the design of the Prisma family is EN55022 and
DIN EN61000-6-2 oriented. Our Prisma firmware design is compliant to EN50128.

All Prisma converter boards support TFT displays with 6-bit, 8-bit and 10-bit colour depth. Via Auto-detect/Auto-config function all analogue RGB signals are automatically detected and displayed optimally on the flat panel. For an easy handling and mounting the buttons for the on-screen-menu are integrated on the top of the PRIMA boards. However they can as well be fitted on the bottom side.

An external OSD board is optionally available for all Prisma converter boards.
At Prisma II the OSD can be controlled remotely over RS232 and due to its picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-and-picture (PAP) function 2 images can be displayed at the same time:
