Installation Installation Hardware Installation Generally hardware installation for basicCON 4115 means connecting the cables for USB (or RS232), LVDS and power supply (see Hardware). Please make absolutely certain that all of the installation procedures are carried out with your system switched off.
Please note that the Device Manager shows ALL USB controllers supported by this driver. If required, your basicCON 4115 can also be controlled via the serial RS232 interface. Then, the G-USB driver setup is not necessary, but the device can NOT be operated by the G-API.
(if required also RS232 is possible), while the LVDS Frame Generator itself is operated via PC software. The basicCON 4115 with the INAP375T APIX 2 transmitter can also receive control data via uplink data streams (but no RGB or audio signals).

Hardware Display Timings To control different displays, the basicCON 4115 LVDS Framegenerator generates signals according to the patterns shown in Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5. The Timing values can be parameterized according to Table1. By the LVDS serializer this data is serialized and transferred to the display.

Only during the H_BLANK_WIDTH time control data is sampled. That means, that H_FRONT_PORCH + H_SYNC_WIDTH must be less than H_BLANK_WIDTH. V_ BLANK_WIDTH must be greater than V_FRONT_PORCH + V_SYNC_WIDTH otherwise the image is read wrongly from the memory. basicCON 4115 – User Manual...
APIX2 link 2.4.2 Assembly For all basicCON 4115 variants (except of the APIX 2 variant), the Serializer and the LVDS connector (for the variant for APIX 1 also the connector for the DUT power supply) are mounted on the LVDS top- board.
This power supply is effected via the two Power DUT In banana sockets (red = plus/ blue = minus), located left on the front panel. 2.4.4 Addressing Addressing several basicCON 4115 devices is effected exclusively via their serial numbers: The device with the LEAST serial number has always device number 1.
