Image Display
The digital 360° degree view camera system is capable of generating several different views using the front, rear, LH side and RH side cameras, and the IPMB. All 4 cameras are powered and communicate to the IPMB over coaxial cable. The IPMB processes the video signals from the 4 cameras and generates the appropriate views that are displayed on the audio system display. The views that are displayed are determined by the transmission gear selector position.
When the ignition is on and reverse is selected, the rear camera views are shown on the audio system display. The Rear 360° + Normal view is shown first. Using the audio system display on-screen camera selection buttons when reverse is selected, the driver can cycle through the following rear camera views:
| View name | Description |
|---|---|
| Rear 360° + Normal | Contains the normal rear camera view, shown next to a 360° degree camera view. |
| Rear Normal | Provides an image of what is directly behind the vehicle. |
| Rear Split View | Provides an extended wide angle image of what is behind the vehicle. |
When the ignition is on and any gear except reverse is selected, the front camera and 360° degree views are shown on the audio system display when the camera selection switch is pressed. The front images are available until the vehicle speed reaches 10 km/h (6 mph). The Front 360° + Normal view is shown first. Using the audio system display on-screen camera selection buttons in any gear except reverse, the driver can cycle through the following front camera views:
| View name | Description |
|---|---|
| Front 360° + Normal | Contains the normal front camera view, shown next to a 360° degree camera view. |
| Front Normal | Provides an image of what is directly in front of the vehicle. |
| Front Split View | Provides an extended wide angle image of what is in front of the vehicle. |
To enable the front and rear camera displays, the IPMB monitors the camera selection switch (integral to the FCIMB), gear position and vehicle speed messages. The PCM sends the gear position and vehicle speed messages to the GWM through the HS-CAN1 and the GWM then sends the messages to the IPMB via HS-CAN2. The camera selection switch is hardwired to the IPMB.
All camera views are generated by the IPMB, using the video signals from one or more of the cameras. The video signals are sent from the cameras to the IPMB through coaxial cables. The IPMB processes the image(s) from the cameras and sends a single image with the desired view to the APIM. The IPMB creates the final video images seen at the display and applies video adjustments such as brightness and sharpness color.
