DLP6500FYE: Generate custom patterns

Part Number: DLP6500FYE

I'd like to generate patterns and upload via USB to the 6500 EVM. What is the easiest way to create binary patterns? Specifically, I'd like to produce a 1920 by 1080 grating pattern (stripes) that are 3 pixels wide (a 6 pixel period).

  • Jim,

    Are you just wanting a container to use as a template?  If so, when you installed the GUI software, there are images here by default:

    "C:\Texas Instruments-DLP\DLPC900REF-SW-5.0.0\DLPC900REF-SW-5.0.0\DLPC900REF-GUI\Images and Batch files\LCR6500_Images" 

    Any of the files with the name nnn_Binary.bmp are saved in binary format and can be used as a container.

    If you are wanting to generate this pattern automatically, you can use a programming language like Basic, or C variants, etc. . .  I have used Labview to do this.  Just create a 1 bit array that is 1920 x 1080.  Then you will have to use some function in the language to generate the array and then save it either directly to a binary image format such as binary *.bmp or to a format that you can pull into something like Paint and convert to a binary format.
