In multi-camera collaborative scenarios, each signal requires an independent physical connection and equalizer circuit, resulting in complex system wiring and high costs. In the field of digital signal processing, imported chips have performance differences, and device selection can easily lead to digital link loss. It is necessary to use a high-precision open-loop power control method to accurately control the output signal power and solve the problem of system performance degradation caused by differences in the amplitude of the receiving channel.

When an abnormal power supply is detected in a certain channel, the backup power supply can be switched in milliseconds. The system supports plug-and-play expansion of up to 4 cameras, automatically identifies new devices and optimizes resource allocation strategies.
