In this embodiment, the ports 1106a to 1106d are for example RJ45 interfaces respectively.
The serial ports 1109a and 1109b may be used for two-way serial port cascade input and connected to the connector assembly 111, so as to be connected to one-way serial port of the microcontroller 132 through the connector assembly 111, the connector assembly 131 and the programmable logic device 130 on the core board 13; the serial ports 1110a and 1110b may be used for two serial port cascade outputs and are connected to the connector assembly 111 so as to be connected to the other serial port of the microcontroller 132 through the connector assembly 111 and the connector assembly 131 and the programmable logic device 130 on the core board 13.

The video main input interface 1102a and the video backup input interface 1102b are connected to the patch module 111, so as to connect the video decoder 1302 on the core board 13, which is, for example, an HDMI interface or other video interface, respectively, through the patch module 111 and the patch module 131; the video loop-out interfaces 1104a and 1104b are connected to the connector assembly 111 to connect the video distributor 1304, such as an HDMI interface or other video interface, respectively, on the core board 13 via the connector assembly 111 and the connector assembly 131.
The liquid crystal interface 1103 is connected to the connector block 111 so as to be connected to the microcontroller 132 on the core board 13 by plugging the connector block 111 and the connector block 131; in this embodiment, the liquid crystal interface 1103 includes, for example, a serial liquid crystal interface, an SPI liquid crystal interface, and an 8080 liquid crystal interface.

The audio decoding circuit 1113 is connected between the audio input interface and the connector block 111, thereby connecting the programmable logic device 130 on the core board 13 through the connector block 111 and the connector block 131; in this embodiment, the audio decoding circuit 1113 includes, for example, an audio decoding chip. The audio encoding circuit 1114 is connected between the audio output interface 1112 and the connector block 111, thereby connecting the programmable logic devices 130 on the core board 13 through the connector block 111 and the connector block 131; in this embodiment, the audio encoding circuit 1114 includes an audio encoding chip, for example.
For the display screen controller 10 shown in fig. 1 to 4 in this embodiment, the microcontroller 132 reads a program from the non-volatile memory 1305, such as the flash memory, and loads the program to the programmable logic device 130 when the power is turned on; video signals input from a video source are input to the core board 13 through the video main input interface 1102a or the video backup input interface 1102b of the adapter board 11 and the patch modules 111 and 131, decoded by the video decoder 1302 to be TTL level and then sent to the programmable logic device 130 for processing, processed by the patch module 131 through gigabit Ethernet PHYs such as 1306a-1306d and then output by the network ports such as 1106a-1106d, and the input video signals are provided with four-network-port outputs and can be configured as four-output or two-output two-backup. Meanwhile, after being decoded by the video decoder 1302 to TTL level, the video signal input from the video source is also input to the video encoder 1303 for encoding, and then output through the video distributor 1304 for loop-out backup to perform video input on the next-stage display screen controller. Audio signals can be input through the audio input interface 1111 of the adapter board 11, decoded by the audio decoding circuit 1113 on the adapter board 11, and then input to the programmable logic device 130 for processing through the plug component 111 and the plug component 131, one channel and processed video signals are packed and output through gigabit ethernet PHYs such as 1306a-1306d, and the other channel can be encoded through the audio encoding circuit 1114 and then output through the audio output interface 1112; the audio output interface 1112 may directly output a fixed audio input, or may output an audio signal obtained by decoding an HDMI signal and stripping the decoded signal.
In addition, the microcontroller 132 is also connected to the programmable logic device 130 through two serial ports, and the programmable logic device 130 can be expanded to a two-in two-out (or called two-in two-out) serial port cascade through detection and identification; the two-in two-out serial port cascade mode can facilitate the wiring between the boxes through the design of the adapter board 11, for example, in the case that the adapter board 11 is substantially rectangular, the two-in two-out four-way cascade serial ports can be respectively arranged on four sides of the rectangular adapter card 11.
The display controller 10 may be connected to a liquid crystal module (LCD) having three interface types of a serial port (UART), SPI, and 8080 to display related information, for example, information such as temperature and voltage of a box read back from a receiving card. Further, the communication interfaces such as the network port 1107 and the USB port 1108 connected through the gigabit ethernet PHY1321 may be connected to a host computer such as a PC for program upgrading and related control. The display screen controller 10 may be configured by the screen configuration software LCT, and the equipped screen connection reset key 1104 facilitates one-key reset of the screen configuration software (e.g., LCT software developed by west nova electronics technologies, inc.) to be issued to a screen configuration file in the microcontroller 132 of the display screen controller 10, thereby facilitating rapid screen configuration operations when replacing or maintaining the LED display screen to which the display screen controller 10 is connected.
In summary, in this embodiment, for the problem that the size of the conventional sending card is too large, the display screen controller 10 with the function of sending card is designed as a separate design manner of the core board and the adapter board, and the adapter board 11 can be designed according to the corresponding size of the box body and can be directly installed in the box body. For example, the adapter card 11 can be made into various shapes, such as a substantially rectangular shape, an octagonal shape, etc., according to the actual situation. In addition, the core board 13 is, for example, substantially rectangular, and has a whole board size of, for example, 115mm × 65mm, a board thickness of not more than 1.6mm, a total thickness (board thickness + front and back side device thickness) of not more than 6.0mm, two positioning holes for mounting and fixing, and all signals are input and output by the connector module 131, and as long as the adapter board 11 satisfies the size of the core board 131, the shape and size thereof can be changed freely. Since the display controller 110 of the present embodiment is much smaller in size than a conventional transmitter card, it can be directly installed inside the cabinet.
Moreover, for the reliability problem of the traditional sending card, the same video decoder is set to be accessed into multiple paths such as two paths of video source input, and the video decoder automatically judges that when one path of video source fails, the video decoder can be automatically switched to another video source; the output backup can be carried out on the input video source signals, and two paths of video sources can be output to input to the next-stage display screen controller as long as one path of video source is normal; the unique backup mechanism further improves the reliability of the system.
