Rear Seat Entertainment System -- System Description |
OUTLINE |
- As a unique feature of the rear seat entertainment system, the rear seat occupants can enjoy different audio-visual modes at the same time.
- The rear seat occupants can control the audio-visual modes with the remote control, and listen to audio by using wired or wireless headphones.
- The multi-display controller sub-assembly receives image and sound signals from the multi-media module receiver assembly and distributes the signals to each television display assembly.
- A television display assembly is installed on the back of each front seat.
- The rear seat occupants can enjoy watching video by connecting an external device.
- MOST communication is used between the multi-media module receiver assembly and the multi-display controller sub-assembly. AVC-LAN communication is used between the television display assembly and multi-display controller sub-assembly.

MOST Network Outline
Rear seat entertainment system components communicate with each other via the MOST communication line.
The MOST communication line uses a shielded twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.
The master unit of the MOST network is the multi-media module receiver assembly.
MOST communication lines connect each slave unit centering around the master unit to form a MOST network ring.
The master unit sends a wake-up signal to activate each slave unit connected to the MOST communication line.
- HINT:
- If a short or open circuit occurs in the MOST circuit, communication will be interrupted and the system will not operate normally.
AVC-LAN Outline
Components of the rear seat entertainment system communicate with each other via the AVC-LAN.
The AVC-LAN uses a twisted pair of wires for its communication lines.
