1. INTRODUCTION
The Interface & Design Reference Kit, compatible with all SVGA+ Series Microdisplays,
provides the user with a highly compact, portable way of operating an eMagin OLED
Microdisplay with a variety of video inputs. This product was designed to deliver a complete tool
for developers to evaluate and integrate eMagin microdisplays into new products. The Interface &
Design Reference Kit is compatible both with analog RGB and composite (NTSC, SMPTE-170,
PAL) sources. The included software package and cables provides access to the microdisplay’s
on-board register settings from any Windows-based PC through a serial port. When used with an
SVGA 3D OLED Microdisplay, the binocular Interface & Design Reference Kit features
automatic stereovision signal to allow the user easy development of stereoscopic 3D applications.
2. FEATURES
•PC Analog Monitor Video Interface (VESA Display Monitor Timing Standard compliant)
•Composite interface cable for connection to SMPTE-170, NTSC, PAL sources
•RS-232 (serial) cable allows access to microdisplay registers
•Supporting Software (Windows)
•ON/OFF power switch
•Push-button brightness control
•Push-button image scan direction control
•VGA monitor cable
•USB Power Cable, length 2 feet (NOTE: Provided cable is compatible with USB 1.0 and 2.0
USB ports, but may not be compatible with all types of PCs. In some cases an external 5V DC
power supply may be necessary)

2.1.Standard Built-in Software
•Automatic determination of incoming frame rate and matching
•Image orientation adjustment with single button push makes integration into various systems
easier.
•Luminance can be stepped in 255 of the luminance range steps with momentary pushing of
the up/down luminance button. If the luminance control button is held down in the up or down
position for more than 1 second, rapid scanning through the luminance range will initiate up
or down to permit fast changing of display luminance.
•Comes ready with a high brightness mode accessible through a special button sequence.
2.2.Software Features

•Software slide bar control over the microdisplay’s brightness in 255 equal steps
•Download and install new firmware files into your Interface & Design Reference Kit for easy
upgrades and expanded functionality
•Ability to read the ambient temperature measured at the microdisplay’s location
•Save feature stores custom register settings for convenience
