Lilliput auto - switching Video

HagOO · 11-05-2005, 04:21 PM

hi,

i know there is auto video shifting by default in the lilli.

Has anyone considered puting a relay that would simulate pushing the input selector button upon shifting reverse in a car?

that might help in shifiting the display from VGA to AV1 when driving reverse...

ps. i am working on the best config. to buy a car pc solution, so as long as i don't have the HW yet, can't try it myself...

regards.

The Lilliputs have a "secret" menu that gives you options like this - my 701 has the option to invert the image for a backup camera built in.

Laminar, show me a pic of such option.

I have the Lilliput 629 and no where in the hidden screen does it have an option to auto switch source.

I tried the relay idea as though in the first post, but it's unreliable. The reason is because when you back up sometimes you only go into reverse for a couple of seconds and might go back to first gear after such. Well, the signal for the source switch is not so intelligent and has a delay...so you might end up with the rear camera view even though you're out of the reverse gear.

So, what I did was to set the thing manually. I simply soldered to wires to the source button. I then ran these wires to a manual press switch. So, when I want the carpc to go to the reverse camera, I just press the button and vise versa.

I know it's not automatic, but it works and it's more reliable then having a relay.

I'm not 100% sure it exists, I just thought I saw something when I was flipping through the menu a couple days ago. I'll give it another look when I get home.

I think that's is only on the new 701 isn't it?

It's quite possible - I just got my 701 last week.

Have not seen such option on either.

Here's a picture of the menu screen with the X axis inverted.

A quick run-through of the options didn't reveal a built-in auto switch.

fabworks · 02-18-2009, 03:34 AM

Yep, no such thing exists. Only the Xenarc has such option.

So can the relay on the video input button not be hacked to change when reverse light comes on and reverts when it goes off? IDK how to do this but would love to know if possible.

Did u read my previous post in regards to this? It works but it's not reliable.
