[0016] Preferably, the HDMI input processing circuit 8 is connected to the HDMI output processing circuit 10 via a digital cross switch circuit 9 to form an analog audio output structure.

[0017] Preferably, the HDMI input processing circuit 8, the digital cross switch circuit 9, and the HDMI output processing circuit 10 are controlled by the main control MCU 1 to realize the selection and switching of input and output signals.

[0018] Preferably, the main control MCU1 adopts STM32F107 chip.

[0019] Preferably, the Ethernet communication circuit 3, R232 communication circuit 4, key control circuit 5, infrared receiving circuit 6 are connected to the main control MCU 1 to form a multi-source control structure.

[0020] The working principle of this specific embodiment is: 1. The power supply circuit 2 is DC 12V, and uses MP2307 to step down 12V to 5V and 3.3V to power each level of circuits, and uses STI3410 to step down 5V to 1V to power the HDMI output processing circuit.

[0021] 2. The main chip of the main control MCU1 is STM32F107. The main control MCU communicates with the HDMI input processing chip through IIC, which can modify the input HDMI port EDID and turn off the HDMI signal output of the HDMI input processing chip; the main control MCU communicates with the digital cross switch circuit through IIC, which can switch the input HDMI signal to different HDMI output channels; the MCU communicates with the HDMI output processing circuit through IIC to control the HDMI signal and analog audio output of the HDMI port. Only one HDMI output port is controlled by the processing chip, and the remaining HDMI ports are directly controlled by the main control MCU. The digital cross switch circuit outputs the HDMI signal to the output port, detects the HPD signal of the port, and reads the EDID information of the port; the MCU is connected to the Ethernet through the Ethernet circuit and can control the system through Ethernet after access; the MCU communicates with external control devices or other RS232-supported devices through the RS232 communication circuit; the MCU receives infrared control signals through the infrared receiving circuit and can use the infrared remote control to control the system operation; the ROM storage circuit communicates with the MCU through IIC to store the system's EDID information and other configuration information.

[0022] 3. The main chip of HDMI input processing circuit 8 is SII9187. Each HDMI input port has an HDMI processing chip SII9187 processing chip. When the HDMI signal source is connected to the HDMI input port of the system, the HDMI processing chip outputs the HPD signal and outputs the default EDID information or the EDID modified by the MCU to the HDMI signal source. The HDMI signal source reads the EDID and outputs the HDMI signal to the processing chip.

[0024] 5. The HDMI output processing circuit 10 uses the SII9533 processing chip and the CS4344 analog audio output chip.

Only some HDMI output ports are controlled by the processing chip. The HPD and EDID information of ports not controlled by the processing chip is directly read by the MCU. Ports whose HDMI signal output is directly controlled by the MCU's digital crossbar switch circuit do not have analog audio output.

[0025] 6. Ethernet communication circuit 3: The Ethernet chip is LAN8720. The MCU realizes Ethernet connection through LAN8720, so that external control devices can control the operation of the system through Ethernet.

[0027] 8. The main chip of the key control circuit 5 is 74HC165. The keys are scanned and read through 74HC165, and the key data is then transmitted to the MCU. The MCU responds based on the received key data.

[0028] 9. The infrared receiving circuit 6 transmits the external infrared signal to the MCU through the infrared receiving head. The MCU decodes the infrared signal and then takes corresponding actions according to the decoded content.

[0029] 10. The ROM storage circuit 7 storage chip is AT24C02, which communicates with the MCU through IIC and is used to store the MCU's configuration data or EDID information.
