GMSL*3 signal conversion function

NOTE:

Communication between the connectivity master unit (CMU) and the center display is performed via the GMSL communication line.

The connectivity master unit (CMU) converts signals sent from the following units to a GMSL signal and displays each type of information in the center display.

OUTPUT UNIT DESCRIPTION

Output unit	Video signal/display request signal
Remote tuner (RT)	Radio broadcast logo, album art, song name Traffic information such as location and length of traffic jams
CD/DVD player	Playback file information (artist/song name)
USB port/SD card slot hub	Information for file being played (artist/song name)
Devices such as Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phones and or mobile devices such as Smartphones/Bluetooth®-enabled devices	Telephone book, incoming call record Radio broadcast logo, album art, song name

Connectivity master unit (CMU)	Incoming call pop-up screen display Fuel economy monitor screen ^4 Energy efficiency history ^4 Warning guidance screen display Navigation screen display Temperature warning pop-up screen display Automatic 911 dialing screen display (with automatic 911 dialing)

By converting the video signal to a GMSL signal, the connectivity master unit (CMU) is able to display stable images in the center display virtually free from the effects of noise.
The GMSL communication pathway between the connectivity master unit (CMU) and the center display corresponds to HDCP ^*5 .
*3: The GMSL displays the electrical properties of the signal using low-voltage differential signaling. GMSL is a digital, wired transmission technology for the short range which adopts a differential interface having the characteristics of low voltage and low power consumption.

*4: Some models.

*5: HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection system) is a copyright protection technology which prevents content from being copied fraudulently. The pathway in a display device such as a display, which sends/receives digital signals from a video playback device such as a computer, is encrypted.
