Pinout of the SPEA Movie Bus


The SPEA SHOWTIME PLUS is equipped with a digital video bus connector. This is not a Feature Connector, but the 'SPEA Movie Bus'.
This connector can be used to connect and run a MJPEG board.

Three operation modes are possible with the SPEA SHOWTIME PLUS:

1. video decoder is active

2. an external board is active

The function of the pinout of the SPEA Movie Bus changes for each mode.
