1.1 Introduction

The TI DLP DLPC964 GUI enables evaluating the DLPLCRC964EVM (DLPC964 controller board), DLPLCR99EVM (DLP991U DMD board), DLPLCR99UVEVM (DLP991UUV DMD board), and Apps FPGA (AMD EVM) application. The DLPLCRC964EVM contains fixed internal test patterns that can be loaded into DLP991U or DLP991UUV DMD, providing the necessary interfaces for displaying these patterns on the supported DMD. The front-end AMD EVM interfaces with the DLPC964 controller to send high-speed pattern data to the supported DMD EVM (DLPLCR99EVM or DLPLCR99UVEVM).

This guide explains the hardware and software features of the DLP LightCrafter DLPC964 EVM system. The EVM architecture and connectors are described along with a quick start guide on how to assemble a supporting DMD EVM and an AMD Xilinx™ Evaluation board to the DLPLCRC964EVM to display and run test patterns. This guide also explains how to operate the DLP LightCrafter DLPLCRC964EVM using a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Specific details for each DLP component can be found in Section 6.

Note: The DLPLCR99EVM (DMD EVM), DLPLCR99UVEVM (DMD EVM), AMD Xilinx™ Virtex™-7 Evaluation board (Apps FPGA), optics, illumination source, and power supply are sold separately from the DLPLCRC964EVM kit.
