ITSX98E A/D Scaler Board: Multi-Input Controller for LVDS Displays
Content last revised on October 13, 2025.
Streamlined Video Integration for Commercial and Industrial Displays
The ITSX98E A/D Scaler Board offers a versatile video interfacing solution designed for the rapid development and integration of custom LVDS display systems. By providing a direct pathway for connecting common video sources like DVI and legacy VGA to a raw TFT-LCD panel, it streamlines product development cycles and enhances system flexibility. Key specifications include DVI/VGA/S-Video inputs, resolution support up to 1440x900, and a configurable single or dual-channel LVDS output. This board delivers two critical engineering benefits: extensive source compatibility and simplified system integration. For projects requiring a reliable bridge from multiple video signal types to a standard LVDS panel, the ITSX98E provides an efficient and effective integration path.

Application Scenarios & Value
System-Level Benefits in Retrofit and Multi-Source Display Systems
The ITSX98E A/D Scaler Board is engineered to solve common integration challenges in systems that require a visual interface. Its primary value lies in creating a seamless bridge between a system's core processing unit and the display panel, particularly when dealing with mixed or aging technology. What is the primary benefit of its flexible input options? It allows for the modernization of equipment without costly host system redesigns.
A high-fidelity engineering scenario is the retrofitting of an existing industrial HMI. Many legacy control systems output a standard analog VGA signal. When the original display fails, sourcing a direct, panel-mount VGA monitor can be difficult and expensive. The ITSX98E provides a direct solution: it accepts the legacy VGA signal from the host computer and converts it to the modern LVDS interface required by current, cost-effective TFT-LCD Panel components. This approach extends the life of valuable capital equipment and simplifies maintenance logistics. This board is an ideal driver for a wide range of panels, such as the G156XW01 V1, enabling its integration into systems with diverse video outputs.
Application Vignette
Vignette: Upgrading a Legacy Industrial HMI with the ITSX98E
Challenge: A manufacturing facility relies on a series of CNC machines where the original 15-inch CRT-based control consoles are failing. The embedded host PC for each machine outputs a 1024x768 analog VGA signal. The maintenance team faces a critical challenge: finding reliable, direct-fit replacement monitors is no longer feasible, and a full system upgrade is cost-prohibitive.
Solution & Integration: The engineering team implements a targeted upgrade using the ITSX98E scaler board. They source modern, high-brightness 15-inch industrial TFT-LCD panels that use a standard LVDS input. The compact ITSX98E board is mounted within the existing console housing, connecting directly to the CNC machine's VGA output cable. The board's LVDS output is then routed to the new LCD panel. The board's +12V power requirement is easily tapped from the console's existing power supply unit.
System-Level Benefit: This integration delivers significant value. It extends the operational life of the CNC machines for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. Operator efficiency is improved thanks to the clearer, brighter, and more reliable display. Furthermore, the facility standardizes its replacement display strategy around readily available LVDS panels, drastically simplifying future maintenance and reducing long-term TCO.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the primary advantage of the multiple video inputs on the ITSX98E?
The key advantage is versatility. It allows a single display assembly design to be compatible with multiple host systems—whether they use modern DVI, standard VGA, or even legacy S-Video—without requiring any changes to the display hardware. This is ideal for product lines that offer different controller options or for creating universally compatible replacement parts.
Does the ITSX98E support automatic signal detection?
The board is equipped with firmware that typically provides auto-detection of active input signals. This simplifies the user experience, as the display will automatically switch to the correct source when it is connected and powered on. Manual selection via the OSD keypad is also available for systems with multiple sources connected simultaneously.
