16. 8. Supported Input Formats
8.1 Video Mode Support
The Saffron series can support any video mode within the following input constraints:
Signal sample frequency with the input  80MHz
Horizontal sync frequency between 30KHz and 80KHz
The modes are detected with the presentation of the input and previous alignments for setup are
Automatically recalled. The emulation of a true multi-sync monitor is implemented.
The factory preset supported modes are as follows:

17. H-sync, V-sync and Data Enable.
8.2 LCD Panel & I/O Support
Saffron is an advanced and general application for a TFT-LCD Monitor Control board.
Therefore, the application of this board is not limited to panel manufacturers or models.
Furthermore, this board operates with LVDS interface panel ranging from VGA to
WQXGA that can be driven with three or less timing signals. The usual timing signals to a panel are
H-sync, V-sync and Data Enable.
For backlight intensity control mechanism, a built-in DC dimming drive signal is installed into the CCFL
Inverter or LED driver control port.
The CCFL inverter & LED driver DC power, generally 12~24V DC, is attached to the same port.
Users can design their own key pad board by using OSD & power tact switch as well as a two-color
LED.
On/off power switch and OSD input signal are detected and executed by the micro controller.
