Display ≥0.47-in Array 4K UHD Evaluation Module
Description
The DLPC4420AEVM controller evaluation module
(EVM), when combined with the DLP660TEEVM,
DLP780TEEVM or DLP470TEEVM digital micromirror
device (DMD) EVMs, can accelerate the prototyping
time of DLP ultra high definition (UHD - 3840x2160)
system over 2000 lumens. The DLPC4420AEVM
provides a design for driving 4K UHD DMDs while
allowing for testing of custom front end systems.
The combination of the DLPC4420AEVM with any of
these 4K UHD DMD EVMs can display SPLASH, test
patterns or video from HDMI source on the DMD.
