2x UART control ports

They are used for device cascading. Up

to 20 devices can be cascaded.

Support for high-bit-depth inputs:

8bit/10bit/12bit

Support for 18-bit grayscale processing

and display

Support for manual screen brightness

adjustment, which is fast and

convenient

Quick screen configuration without
