I - INTRODUCTION
I.1 - Demo Kit Contents
The STV942x OSD for monitors Demo Kit comes
with the following parts :
- The STV942x Demo Board,
- The I
2
C Interface Board,
- One I
2
C Bus Cord,
- One VGA Cord,
- One 3.5" Floppy Containing the Page Editor Soft-
ware,
- The Demo Kit User’s Manual.
I.2 - Minimum Hardware and Software
Configuration
The Page Editor Software is delivered on a
MS DOS 3.5" floppy disk.
It requires a PC compatible microcomputer :
- Based on a 486 microprocessor or better,
- With at least 640k of memory.
Use of a 386 or smaller microprocessor will just give
long execution time.
I.3 - How to Get Started
Even if it isn’t necessary to connect the application
board to run the Page Editor Software, it will always
be helpful to see the real resulting page on the
application monitor screen.
You may use the Demo Kit for an evaluation pur-
pose, or for developing your OSD pages for your
application. The STV942x Demo Board is supplied
with VGA connectors and it comes with a VGA cord.
The STV942x devices can handle a wide variety of
monitors and video standards. If you are using the
STV942x Demo Kit for evaluating the devices, or
for developing a VGA monitor application, you will
find it is perfectly suited for those purposes. If you
use the kit to develop a non-VGA compatible moni-
tor, you will find the different signals on the connec-
tors and you will have to provide the appropriate
connections to your application. Refer to the
STV942x Demo Board Section.
Connect the I
2
C interface board on the parallel port
LPT1 of your PC, then connect the I
2
C interface
board to the STV942x Demo Board using the I
2
C
bus wire, supply the Demo Board with a 5V power
supply (not provided), and connect the Monitor to
the Demo Board output connector J6, and the PC
video output to the input connector J5, using the
VGA cable provided with the Demo kit.
After having made a copy of the Page Editor Soft-
ware under a working directory of you hard disk,
you can start the execution by typing the com-
mand :
