Remote monitor interface

摘要

A data processing system remote monitor interface includes a first device which transmits different types of time-related information signals along multiple parallel channels to a second device for reception and combination into a different number of information signal outputs. The different types of digital information signals are synchronized by the first device prior to transmission to the second device. Components in the first device, the multiple parallel channels, and the second device are selected to maintain signal synchronization by minimizing signal skew thereby eliminating the necessity for signal resynchronization in the second device. The second device includes a receiver section which has a plurality of receivers. Each receiver operates to receive only one digital information signal and to pass the received signal onto its output. The received digital information signals are then amplified by an inverting amplifier prior to being combined into a different number of information signals which are then used by the receiving device. The system accommodates the transmission of synchronized digital information without requiring the transmission of any synchronizing information signal and without requiring the resynchronization of the information signals at the second device.
