Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of digital communication technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted video signal transmission system. Background Art

[0002] Among the signal transmission technologies used for in-vehicle displays, interface protocols for transmitting video signals include LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling), OLDI (open LVDS display interface), and DP (display port). Typical transmission architectures use a serializer-deserializer (SERD) to convert parallel signals into serial signals for transmission. FPD-Link (FPD-Link), a proprietary transmission architecture protocol with a maximum dual-channel rate of 27 Gbps, enjoys widespread industry adoption and a dominant position. However, with the increasing adoption of high-definition screens in vehicles, the bandwidth of this protocol's current SERD solution is becoming insufficient.

[0003] Currently, optical modules offer excellent performance in data transmission bandwidth, significantly improving the rate and quality of in-vehicle data transmission. However, the signal output by a single DP port on a conventional SoC (system on chip) contains two or more video streams. To accommodate the higher video transmission speed and quality requirements, as well as the need for high-quality multi-screen displays, a new video signal transmission system is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The present application provides a vehicle-mounted video signal transmission system for transmitting a video signal to at least two display screens. The video signal is output by a video source module 100, and after being processed by a split-screen processing module 200, at least two video streams are formed and converted into optical signals for transmission. The split-screen processing module 200 and the optical transmitting module 300 transmit the video stream in the form of an AC signal and perform AC coupling, so that the video stream output by the split-screen processing module 200 can directly drive the optical transmitting module 300 without the need for electrical signal modulation. After the optical transmitting module 300 transmits the optical signal to the optical receiving module 400 via an optical fiber, the optical receiving module 400 converts the optical signal into a video stream and transmits it to at least two display screens for display. This system transmits the video stream via an optical module, thereby improving the transmission speed of the vehicle-mounted video signal to meet the requirements of high-definition display. The above-mentioned system also includes an electrical signal transmission module 500, which is used for the video source module 100 to interact with at least two display screens to control the signal. The electrical signal transmission module 500 transmits the electrical signal via a cable. The vehicle-mounted video signal transmission system provided in this application is suitable for scenarios with multiple vehicle-mounted display screens and multi-screen display and operation requirements.

[0028] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the vehicle-mounted video signal transmission system provided by the first embodiment of the present application is given. Figure 1 As shown, the video source module 100 outputs a video signal to the split-screen processing module 200. After receiving the video signal output by the video source module 100, the split-screen processing module 200 converts the video signal into at least two video streams, including a first video stream and a second video stream. The video source module 100 also exchanges control signals with the split-screen processing module 200. Control signals are transmitted between the split-screen processing module 200 and the display screen group 700 via the electrical signal transmission module 500. The transmitted control signals include at least a first electrical signal and a second electrical signal, wherein the first electrical signal is associated with the first video stream and the second electrical signal is associated with the second video stream. The optical transmission module 300 is used to convert the at least two video streams output by the split-screen processing module 200 into optical signals and transmit them via optical fiber. The optical receiving module 400 is used to receive the optical signals in the optical fiber and convert the received optical signals into video streams. The electrical signal transmission module 500 is used to transmit the control signals to the display screen group 700 via a cable, or to transmit the control signals output by the display screen group 700 to the split-screen processing module 200 via a cable. Display screen assembly 700 includes n display screens, where n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2. In this embodiment, the signal transmission channel between the video source module 100 and the display screen assembly 700 is a hybrid optical fiber and cable transmission link. The video signal is transmitted at high speed in the form of an optical signal, thereby increasing the data transmission bandwidth of the entire in-vehicle video signal transmission system. Furthermore, optical fiber transmission improves the system's anti-interference performance. The control signal is a low-speed electrical signal transmitted via the cable link.

[0029] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a vehicle-mounted video signal transmission system provided in the second embodiment of the present application is given. Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment has the same transmission system architecture as the first embodiment, but only includes two display screens, namely a first display screen 701 and a second display screen 702. In some embodiments, the first display screen 701 uses a high-definition display screen with a pixel level of 2880×1800 to meet high-definition display requirements, and the second display screen uses a display screen with a pixel level of 1440×480 to reduce the cost of the multi-screen system. After receiving the video signal output by the video source module 100, the split-screen processing module 200 outputs a first video stream and a second video stream. The control signal for the interaction between the video source module 100 and the split-screen processing module 200 also only includes a first electrical signal and a second electrical signal, wherein the first electrical signal is associated with the first video stream to control the first display screen 701 or feedback the status of the first display screen 701, and the second electrical signal is associated with the second video stream to control the second display screen 702 or feedback the status of the second display screen 702.

[0030] In some embodiments, the split-screen processing module 200 is further configured to separate an audio signal from a video signal, and the audio signal is transmitted to at least two display screens via the electrical signal transmission module 500 .

[0031] Specifically, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an electrical signal is given. Figure 3 As shown, the first electrical signal includes a first address signal, a first configuration signal and a first control signal. The second electrical signal includes a second address signal, a second configuration signal and a second control signal. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , wherein the first address signal and the second address signal are transmitted via at least two communication ports. The first address signal and the second address signal respectively represent the communication port address corresponding to the first display screen 701 and the communication port address corresponding to the second display screen 702. The first address signal and the second address signal are transmitted to the video source module 100 via the same bus. The first configuration signal and the second configuration signal respectively represent the configuration data of the first display screen 701 and the configuration data of the second display screen 702. The first control signal represents the command data output by the video source module 100 to the first display screen 701 or the event data generated by the first display screen 701. The second control signal represents the command data output by the video source module 100 to the second display screen 702 or the event data generated by the second display screen 702.

[0032] Figure 4 Another electrical signal diagram is given. Figure 4 As shown in the above Figure 3Based on the electrical signal shown, the split-screen processing module 200 also separates the first audio signal and the second audio signal from the video signal, and includes them in the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal respectively, for adapting the first video stream and the second video stream respectively.

[0033] To illustrate the transmission paths of the video stream and control signal in the above embodiments, this application provides an exemplary split-screen processing module. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a split screen processing module 200 is provided. Figure 5 As shown, the split-screen processing module 200 includes at least a video stream processing unit 201, a bus control unit 202, and a microcontroller unit 203. The video stream processing unit 201 is configured to convert the video signal into at least two video streams, including a first video stream and a second video stream, and transmit the configuration data of at least two display screens to the video source module 100 via control signals. The at least two video streams output by the video stream processing unit 201 are both AC-coupled electrical signals, and the signal amplitudes are both greater than 200 mV, meeting the electrical signal amplitude requirements for directly driving the optical transmitter module 300. The bus control unit 202 has at least two communication ports, which are allocated to at least two display screens. The at least two communication ports are configured to the same bus address, allowing all display screens to exchange control signals with the video source module 100 via the same bus address. The microcontroller unit 203 is configured to transmit command data output by the video source module 100 to the at least two display screens via control signals, or to transmit event data generated by the at least two display screens to the video source module 100 via control signals. The instruction data or event data may include an interrupt notification or instruction INT, a reset request RET, a power-down operation PWDN, a ground detection GND, and the like.

[0034] Combine Figure 5 and Figure 2 In a second embodiment, as shown in the transmission system of the split-screen processing module 200 of this embodiment, the first configuration data in the video stream processing unit 201 corresponds to the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) of the first display screen 701, and the second configuration data corresponds to the EDID of the second display screen 702. EDID usually contains various information of the display device, such as product type, supported resolution and refresh rate, color characteristics, size and brightness data, etc. The first address in the bus control unit 202 corresponds to the address data of the first display screen 701, and the bus control unit 202 allocates a communication port for transmitting the address data of the first display screen 701. The second address corresponds to the address data of the second display screen 702, and the bus control unit 202 allocates another communication port for transmitting the address data of the second display screen 702. The bus control unit 202 and the video source module 100 communicate only through one bus address. For example, in I2 In a C-bus architecture, the video source module 100 acts as the master and all display screens act as slaves, thereby reducing bus communication costs. The first command / event data in the microcontroller unit 203 corresponds to command data transmitted by the video source module 100 to the first display screen 701 or event data generated by the first display screen 701, such as an interrupt command or reset request, to control the interruption or reset of the first display screen 701. The second command / event data corresponds to command data transmitted by the video source module 100 to the second display screen 702 or event data generated by the second display screen 702.

[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments, the bus control unit 202 is I 2 C switch chip, having at least two communication ports and one bus port. At least two display screens are connected to the at least two communication ports respectively. When at least two display screens interact with the video source module 100 for control signals, I 2 The C switch chip opens the communication port corresponding to the display screen that is interacting with the control signal and closes the communication port corresponding to the display screen in the non-interactive state according to the interactive state of at least two display screens. 2 The C switch chip ensures that the control signals exchanged between the bus port and the video source module 100 correctly control the display screen or accurately reflect the display screen's status by controlling the opening and closing of the communication port. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the microcontroller unit 203 is further configured to control the video stream processing unit 201 to adjust the operating parameters of the optical transmitter module 300, or to directly adjust the operating parameters of the optical transmitter module 300. For example, the microcontroller unit 203 may activate the firmware of the optical transmitter module 300 and automatically adjust the power of the optical transmitter module 300 using a temperature compensation table to ensure stable operating temperature.
