Switch screen projection is also a black technology? After seeing the ideal L9, Tesla laughed

It's time to reserve the program every Wednesday, the ideal this time is not very punctual, Weibo netizens from twelve o'clock began to "thousands of calls", until four o'clock in the afternoon to remember that they still have such a number, the highlight of the official announcement is that the new car entertainment system will support Switch and other game host device link projection screen, the car into a "mobile game space for the whole family", bringing consumers a better ride experience.

Projection screen, is it really black technology?

For a time, a large number of netizens directly called "too fragrant, too cattle, L9 black technology" and so on. Indeed, as the third space in the current life, the richer the intelligent interconnection function in the car, the more perfect the entire driving experience can be made, and a new place for people to relax, entertain and work will be expanded.

In fact, supporting switch and other game console projection is not a high-tech, let alone a black technology. Imagine that since it is a screen projection, it is connected to the home TV with the Switch, and there is no difference in essence.

It is estimated that the earliest devices connected to the TV that everyone has come into contact with are VCD/DVD, connected with red, blue and white three wires; the earliest game devices connected to the TV should start from PS2, of course, these devices do not have a screen, just a simple reading; in the era of screens, the earliest screen projection should be PSP, and the screen projection to play "Grand Theft Auto" on the TV may be the exclusive memory of our generation of young people.

In the Switch era, our generation of young people has grown up, and the game console has become larger, from a one-person play on the PSP to a multiplayer participation in the Switch, and what has not changed is that it can still be screen-cast, even play in the car.

Now Switch screen projection to the TV, you need to plug the machine in the charging dock, with both ends are HDMI connector adapter cable, respectively, connect the charging dock of hdMI and TV HDMI interface; the ideal L9 is different from the TV screen projection, with the double-ended Type-c connector of the adapter cable, directly connected to the interface under the Switch fuselage and the interface in the L9 car, to achieve screen projection, in fact, this is not a new technology.

On the basis of USB3.0 evolved Type-C interface, more convenient to use, can be inserted at will, unlike the traditional USB has directionality, fast transmission rate, in theory, type-C port transmission rate bandwidth up to 10Gb; support PD fast charging, provide up to 100W power output, so that the charging speed of electronic devices is faster, now the flagship mobile phone is all Type-C; can be two-way power supply, both can charge the device itself, can also power the external device; can transmit audio and video signals, with the Type-C interface to directly transmit, reduce the opening of the fuselage; scalability is better , support 800M / S ultra-high-speed rate transmission, can support the output of 4K video, replace HDMI, DVI, VGA and other interfaces, only need a Type-C data line to achieve small screen expansion to large screen, so in the L9 can do screen projection + fast charging, there is really nothing strange, this is the Type-c "within the responsibility".

Is screen projection a transition or the ultimate solution?

The ideal L9 direct screen projection method can be described as "simple and rough", neither need to develop the game specifically, nor do you have to make other changes in order to cater to the OS of the game, similar to TV screen projection, in the menu to change a "station" thing. This time released switch screen projection, there is another highlight, that is, it can be freely cast on the three large screens in the ideal L9 car, thanks to the double 8155 chip, which is a very critical core. Thanks to the sufficient redundant design, the dual 8155 can coordinate the three-screen linkage.

The solution given by Tesla is to customize the car specification chip with AMD, and the company has also been at the forefront of the industry in terms of interactive entertainment display in the cabin. In today's automakers' "undifferentiated" supplier selection of cockpit chips, Tesla has once again stepped out of its own characteristic road.

Prior to that, Tesla's first-generation infotainment system control unit MCUs featured Nvidia Tegra 3, and the second-generation MCUs starting with Model 3 enabled Intel's Atom E8000.

Tesla plans to further enhance the computing power of existing infotainment systems as the next generation of flagship models, the Model S and Model X, are revamped. THE AMD Navi 23 GPU + AMD Ryzen SoC will likely help Tesla build a new infotainment system. With an independent entertainment system and a powerful chip, the rest can let the game company design games specifically for Tesla, plus the unique controller of the steering wheel, and can also be peripherals, all of which make Tesla "unique" in the in-car entertainment system.

Ideal L9 to do this, there is also its compulsion to do, although its smart cockpit is equipped with double 8155 chips, redundancy is relatively full, but the performance has been far behind the current smart phone chip performance, as 3 years ago the "core emperor", has opened up the gap of three generations with the current mobile phone chip, everyone also knows that today's game a game a game a bit of eating configuration, memory consumption, a few years ago Android "machine emperor" may be "physically unsupported", and the performance of the car chip is generally not as good as the generation of mobile phone chips, It is more difficult to develop a game on top of it.

Smart entertainment interaction is getting stronger and stronger, but what about games?

At present, in the intelligent interactive entertainment in the car, the game is relatively rare, and there is a key factor - the number of users is too small. At present, although the smart car has sprung up in large numbers, but in the overall car sales, there is still a very low sense of existence, if the sales of smart cars can reach Xuanyi, Langyi, Corolla, you can rest assured, there will be a large number of enterprises to make a variety of games for in-car entertainment, because the loading volume is large enough, the amount of terminal equipment is enough, the degree of intelligence is enough to run these games, let's not say those complex "peace elite, king glory" this tired game, like "fruit ninja, angry birds" These games are bound to show up in the car. However, at present, the degree of intelligence of models with large sales is generally low, or even not, and the level of human-computer interaction is still stuck in the FM of the adjusted radio.

At the same time, the screen style of the vehicle is also a major factor that hinders the game from getting on the car. Imagine the previous generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class models, such a double screen, how to play the game? The screen is indeed creative, but it is too narrow, the information that can be displayed is quite limited, and the Mercedes-Benz MBUX system will place the root directory to be selected in a position of the screen from top to bottom, which is convenient for the user to choose, which is that the upper and lower parts have a lot of white space, the screen size is not small, but the real use, convenient space is quite small.

Especially in today's intelligent background, more and more content needs to be displayed, and this kind of screen that is not used in the middle of the new energy model is almost invisible, to put it bluntly, it is "can't be opened". This should also be one of the reasons why Mercedes-Benz in the new generation of S-Class, the iPad large screen, even if the EQS model still maintains the Dalian screen design, but it makes the middle of the main interactive screen become as large as possible, leaving more space for the future display operating system, in the process of cabin iteration upgrade, "lagging behind" a little slower.

On the other hand, Tesla, whose game system is quite early on the car, the central control screen, whether it is the early vertical screen, or the current horizontal screen, to make the screen size large enough, so that more functions can be embedded, which also makes the new forces of car manufacturing begin to abandon the big brother Mercedes-Benz S-class double screen with fire, and turn to a large screen similar to the iPad, such as: Extreme Kr 001, Xiaopeng P7 and other models. The ideal L9 gave up the former triple screen, and instead connected two large iPads together, and then cooperated with the rear entertainment screen on the roof to construct a set of quite novel screen layouts.

Games and OS systems should "go together"

With the screen layout more adapted to the general trend of intelligence, hardware performance and redundancy can meet the requirements of the game, the in-car entertainment system will become more abundant, so that there is a game where there is a screen, and now the ideal L9 this screen projection is a very flattering way, but you also need to buy another Switch, and from the time of creating the OS to start leaving space for the game, it will be a major trend in the future development.

Imagine sitting four people in the car, the car chip supports four-screen interaction, the cabin in the car is relatively quiet, there is air conditioning and comfortable seats, the slightly better configuration of the car will also have a good set of audio, a person a screen online game, laughter in the happy weekend. But this can still be carried out when parking, during the driving process, playing the game is bound to bring a certain sense of dizziness, resulting in motion sickness. At this time, perhaps the VR equipment can solve these problems, and the VR system is deeply integrated into the smart cockpit, so that the overall game audiovisual experience is further improved.

The spoiler of the ideal L9 this time allows us to see a concrete form of intelligent internet of everything. Intelligent cockpit can be achieved or can develop the content of course not only limited to the game, on-board office, on-board meetings and other imagination began to emerge, these in the software and hardware continue to upgrade, intelligent cockpit continuous iteration of the current, the realization is just around the corner, at present, the use of Type-C interface part of the mobile phone, Pad, laptop, has also achieved high-definition projection + charging line to get done, the future ideal L9 will also adapt to more equipment.
