LCD monitor inputs (using a splitter), game consoles, etc. - to the PC via the PCIe bus. [Figure 1-1. PCIe-FRM14 Board Usage 1] As shown in Figure [1-2], the PCIe-FRM14 is inserted into any available PCI Express slot in the PC2. The PCIe-FRM14 receives and outputs the data of the display of PC1 through PC2 application‟s program.

It receives DVI input from other devices and can check it on the PC. The operation of the board is controlled by the program API, and [Figure 1-3] shows the state when PCIe-FRM14 is interlocked with the actual device. It is interfaced with external I/O through the 15Pin D-SUB connector on the left, and is connected to the DVI connector at the bottom to send and receive frame data with the DVI transmitter.

2. PCIe-FRM14 Board Function 2-1 FPGA Block Diagram In the case of PCIe-FRM14, FPGA Core Logic is in charge of overall control. It receives RGB, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), and DVI (Digital Visual Interface) signals as its main function and delivers it to the PC.
Page 8
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is divided into DVI-D (Digital Only), DVI-A (Analog Only), and DVI-I (Integrated Digital & Analog) methods. The PCIe-FRM14 board supports DVI-I type DVI, so it is compatible with the existing analog type methods. Also, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) that uses the same format of digital image data can be used together by using the DVI to HDMI gender.
Page 9
PCIe-FRM14 User‟s Manual The data format of DVI is based on the Panel Link serial signal line. DVI uses a digital transmission protocol that is Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) as shown in [Figure 2-2]. TMDS is composed of TMDS Transmitter and TMDS Receiver, and a Transmitter is mounted on the graphic card side and a Receiver is mounted on the monitor side to transmit digital data from the graphic card to the monitor.
