An Implementation of a Packetized Display Protocol Architecture for IRLED Projector Systems

Abstract

Traditional display protocols have limitations in terms of fixed frame rates, high bandwidth requirements, and precise control over the display of frames. We propose a novel scalable packetized display protocol architecture incorporating dynamic frame rates, high speed capabilities, and dynamic synchronization to bridge performance gaps. We further provide a modular FPGA implementation of the architecture for use on array emitters.

A Modular Platform for Rapid IRSP Development

“…Aside from iterating on the current design, future SLEDs based projector systems will investigate driving IRLEDs via multiple CSEs. A new firmware architecture is also under development which will leverage a custom data transport protocol called PDP (Packetized Display Protocol) to eliminate the need for traditional fixed frame rate video standards such as DVI and HDMI and enable dynamic frame rates for subregions of the arrays [21].…”
