MediaLB Training

Get to Know the Serial On-Board Multimedia Bus

The MediaLB® Training provides a complete overview of the physical layer and link layer specifications for MediaLB, including aspects of signal timing and termination, MediaLB frame and data structure, and logical channels. Additionally, various options to adapt MediaLB to the needs of your individual system design are discussed.

MediaLB is a serial, on-PCB communication bus, which has been optimized for multimedia applications. It is supported by all INICs as well as by a wide variety of host controllers and specific application processors on the market.

MediaLB communication is analyzed in practical demonstrations using an INIC Evaluation Platform, OptoLyzer® Suite and MediaLB Analyzer.
