Abstract:
This paper will discuss the challenge of integrating a variety of video protocols, key features and benefits of different protocols including SDI, HDMI, Display Port, Ethernet (AFDX, TSN), and ARINC 818. It will then explore why ARINC 818-3 is becoming the de-facto standard not only as a display interface, but as a system-level bus being used from sensors, to processors, to displays. In addition to this, key design considerations that must be planned at a system level when integrating infrared and optical sensors, video and mission processors, and multiple display types (HDDs, HMDs, HUDs) will be pointed out.
