To turn on the Roku TV with part number Roku Compact, follow these steps:

1. Connect the Roku Brightsign Compact Test board to the DA15 connector.
2. Ensure the AUD_AVCC5V power supply is functioning.
3. Run the appropriate test script to verify button functionality.
4. Press the power or side panel switch—this should activate the device.
5. If the switch does not work, check U7 and the resistors and beads on its inputs.

These steps help ensure the hardware is powered and responsive.

    500mA to an external device. The 3.3V output is polyfuse protected and can source up to 500mA. If a Brightsign is driving the inputs on another Brightsign, then you can at most drive 3 inputs from 1 output. Calculations follow showing why this is: The GPIO outputs have 100 Ohm series resistors, the inputs have 1K pullup resistors to 3.3V, and the...

     1080i video: Y from Green jack, Pr from Red jack, and Pb from Blue jack. 1/8” Audio connectors The Brightsign Compact has one 1/8” female audio connectors. The connector has a stereo audio signal. The full scale voltage output of the audio is 2V RMS, with no load. The minimum load resistance that should be connected to the audio output is 5K Ohms.

    USB – 1500mA max (USB spec is 500mA, but we decided to put out more current on the USB connector just like some PCs do, in order to be able to use the Brightsign Expander in some cases without an additional 5V power supply).

    The QVCP5L video is also sent over to the TDA9984B HDMI encoder chip, which drives the HDMI data out of the Brightsign Compact. The HDMI chip is also connected to I2S audio and SPDIF audio, so that audio will be driven out the HDMI connector. The TDA9984A is capable of upscaling video to 1080P.
