  • Due to the wide variety of screens on the market, the EDID recognition of different screens may have compatibility issues, which may lead to incorrect screen colors or abnormal screens.
  • This board is limited to LVDS output, the resolution must be the VESA standard, and the driver board should be at least V59 grade, or the driver board is not available.
  • Pin Connection: 2 x 40Pin
  • Because it is the DIY product, so sometimes there may be the compatibility problem. When it shows no signal or no sound, it may be the compability problem.
  • It is not recommend to use with 4K TV as it may have some compability problem.

FAQ

Q: Why the image cuts in and out? (screen flicker )

A: The mainboard LVDS output need to turn off NOSSC(Spread Spectrum function) and turn on the FREERUN function. The mainboard does not turn off the NOSSC, the frequency is unstable and the screen will flicker.

Note: If you use the ARCADE1UP machine, you may not able to turn off Spread Spectrum function, as it is NOSSC is a software function of the mainboard, the ARCADE1UP machine is a finished product, please understand.


Q: Why a yellow screen? (a yellow tint; yellow colors;Outputs yellow signal )

A: This is an EDID compatibility problem, because there are too many types of screens on the market, the EDID recognition of different monitors may be wrong, resulting in incorrect colors.(This issue maybe fixed by modify the program.)


Q: Is there a way to reflash the firmware on this board so it turns the Double 8 to a Single 8?

A: 1. Please confirm which version your board is.

2. If it is the version as picture shows;

you could weld a 0ohm-0603-±5%-1/10W resistance on R18 position.

R28 is used to switch the JEIDA signal, it is VESA signal when without the resistance.

LVDS to HDMI Board (New Version).jpg


3.

If your board is the newest version then you could switch to Single 8 mode by shorting GND and S1.


4.

Does the LVDS to HDMI Adapter supports non-standard resolutions, for example 800x800?

Sorry, we can not guarantee the compatibility, you can do the test and let us know the result, thanks!

5.

Is it possible to configure the ITE chip to support dual channel 6-bit inputs?

Yes, this is possible but need to configure Double 6 program, the program needs to be changed.

6

Q:I need to know if this board will accept without damage an LVDS 12Vdc input instead of 5Vdc input?

A:This LVDS compatible with 5V-12V,so you can try 12V.

7

Q: Why does the LVDS blank out for 1 to 2 seconds every once in a while?

A: The LVDS needs a Stable signal from the motherboard ,so please check your motherboard software,As the blank out issue is because the LVDS output signal of the motherboard is unstable and the frequency is not fixed, so please close the motherboard signal spreading function and turned on the FREERUN fixed frequency function.


8

Q: What CN4 is used for the LVDS V1.5?

A: CN4 interface definition: G-GND, D-SDA, C-SCL, G5-5V

CN4 definition

9 Q: Does your LVDS to HDMI adapter board V1.5 Support LVDS single 6bit input?

A: NO, not support single 6bit input.

I don't quite understand if this board is: - LVDS source (from a laptop's motherboard) to an HDMI output (a screen LVDS interface) or - HDMI source (from anything like a DVD recorder) to a LVDS output (a salvaged screen)

telling that on the intro would certainly help many people.


I'm trying to transform old laptops into rack-mount servers. For people that would do the same, I also recommend searching on Google these words: "lack rack". Some case made of plastic will help you putting the motherboard nice and secure, letting you possibilities of punching holes to access connectors (plastic is easier to work with, you'll need less tools : a hot blade and some file would do).

Hi, I buy this board for converting the LVDS signal produced by my custom board, in HDMI signals which I can use to control a standard display panel. I produce LVDS signals for a 1366x768 resolution and I know my signals works because I can correctly control an LVDS display. Now I can get no output from the HDMI. I have jumpers in VESA mode Single 8. I read about the fact that signals must be VESA compatible, but I can't find what does it mean. Also in this document "S-LH1080P-AUDIO-V17-Spec-20180504-1.pdf" there seems to be some constraints about like back/front porch. But there are no specifications for 768p. My use case is supposed to be compatible with the board ?

Hello,

What chip is your LVDS output?

There are some LVDS output by the adapter chip, although it is a general resolution, but after conversion, the clock signal or impedance may increase, and it will not be displayed.

Please refer to the VESA protocol (LVDS Adapter#Document VESA-Timing-New )to adjust the screen parameters.

You say this "The mainboard LVDS output need to turn off NOSSC(Spread Spectrum function) and turn on the FREERUN function" but the only driver in the Linux kernel that supports turning off NOSSC is i915 (intel integrated graphics).


Please advise on how to do this when other boards and graphics drivers are used, otherwise, this isn't a fair "solution" to provide to people saying "Just do this thing you can't do without reprogramming your LCD drivers".
