*Abbreviate

• HDP: Hot plug detect
• DRP: Dual-role power
• DRD: Dual-role data
• Alt: Alternate
• DP: DisplayPort
• OSD: On-screen display

Note :

• Some DRP/DRD is designed to enter protection mode when an over-current event is occurring. In protection mode, the DRP/DRD may turn off DP Alt. mode function to protect itself for system stability. This may lead to abnormal behavior of the HD309D1-C1.
• Please contact your local reseller for technical support if you still cannot solve your problems with the suggested methods.

Thermal requirement
The thermal design is expected to make the temperatures of the specified top cover area never exceed 50°C as shown in attached figure. If the specified area temperature over 50°C, the laser diodes could be damaged or degraded due to the high temperature, the liability for damages will be excluded.

The recommended thermal solution is as shown in attached figure, a metal base is needed to place under the MEMS scanning projection module. The minimum metal base size is 105.0 x 66.5 x 23.0 mm, and the drawing of reference design is as page

Recommend resolution setting of Raspberry Pi

When using “Digital video interface converter board” connecting to Raspberry Pi, recommend resolution setting:
Setting the values of “hdmi_group” and “hdmi_mode” in the config file and steps/example are showed as below

1. Uncomment (remove # symbol) “hdmi_group” and “hdmi_mode”.

2. Change the value of “hdmi_group” to “2” and “hdmi_mode” to “85”.

3. Force the Raspberry Pi to use HDMI mode.
   Edit /boot/config.txt and uncomment hdmi_force_hotplug as shown below hdmi_force_hotplug=1

4. Reboot Raspberry Pi: sudo reboot

   • Example as below

   • uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode

   • hdmi_safe=1

   • uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible # and your display can output without overscan

   • disable_overscan=1

   • uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

   • overscan_left=16

   • overscan_right=16

   • overscan_top=16

   • overscan_bottom=16

   • uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus # overscan.

   • framebuffer_width=1280

   • framebuffer_height=720

   • uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

   • hdmi_force_hotplug=1

   • uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

   • hdmi_group=2
   • hdmi_mode=85
   • HD309D1-C1 Ver. 1.0
   • MEMS Scanning Projection Module

   • uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in # DMT (computer monitor) modes #hdmi_drive=2 # uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have  interference, blanking, or # no display #config_hdmi_boost=4 # uncomment for composite PAL #sdtv_mode=2 #uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default. arm_freq=900 # for  more options see http://elinux.org/RPi_config.txtcore_freq=250sdram_freq=45over_voltage=2
