Video module and LCD monitor

Function

The video module is a separate control unit which generates the pictures for the LCD monitor. For this purpose, it receives information from various other control units and processes it accordingly. The video module routes the pictures via RGB lines to the LCD monitor. The LCD monitor then displays these pictures.

Components

The video module includes the

• TV receiver with video text
  
• graphics stage,
  which produces the pictures displayed on the LCD monitor for the on-board computer, radio, DSP amplifier, telephone display and navigation system.
  
• Antenna diversity:
  The TV antenna system consists of 2 fields in the rear window heating system. A separate antenna amplifier is installed for both antennas. The video module provides the voltage supply for the antenna amplifiers. Both antennas are connected to the video module, in which the diversity function is integrated.
  
• Selector switch for TV, video recorder and navigation system.
  

Note

The system also has provisions to facilitate connection of a further TV monitor and a commercially available video recorder. The video module is controlled via the I-bus.

Note

The on-board monitor is switched off at a voltage of < 8V or a temperature > 65 °C. The background lighting is controlled by the on-board monitor control panel via the PL-line.
