Embedded video wall board with Hisilicon Hi3531

Overview

Embedded board for LCD panel - one video wall segment. Board development for decoding video streams over Ethernet and output image to display module or an external display via VGA/HDMI interfaces. Video streams processing and control, implemented by processor HiSilicon Hi3531. It’s also possible used like a network video recorder (NVR) for recording video streams to hard drive.
