A system and method for real-time image transformation monitoring for a display unit receives, via a pixel buffer, pixels of source image data and appends fiducial data to each pixel, the fiducial data corresponding to a reference checksum associated with a transformation map for one or more transformations of the source image into an output image for display. When source image data is read out of the pixel buffer, e.g., as a sequence of pixel datasets, an image transformation monitor extracts the fiducial data appended to each dataset and incorporates each set of extracted fiducial data into a checksum calculation for the current source image. When the transformed output image is complete, the cumulative checksum calculation for the current source image is compared to the reference checksum, determining a system status or detecting a system fault based on whether or not the checksum calculation and reference calculation are equivalent.

Real-time image transformation monitoring for display systems

A system of modular components each include pin ports that may be connected in different configurations to enact alternative planar designs. Each modular component has asymmetries that are utilized to facilitate alternative wiring. Such asymmetries could include protrusions in the wafer to align edge connections. Alternatively, or in addition, the asymmetries include differences in copper disposition to certain edge connections. Each modular component has a non-conductive coating on each side of the wafer to insulate the underlaying copper layer.
