Optimal Control and Monitoring of Display Systems – IF461 SMB

With the IF461 System Management Board (SMB), Fortec Integrated expands its product portfolio with a versatile and cost-effective co-processor that adds intelligent management functions to display controller boards. While conventional TFT controllers and mainboards mainly handle signal processing, the IF461 SMB enables monitoring, diagnostics, and control thus providing the foundation for efficient and flexible system management.

Acting as an interface between hardware and smart control, the board allows users to access live data, status messages, and alerts in real time - anytime and anywhere. Existing systems can be easily upgraded without the need to replace the entire display control unit.

Based on the compact ESP32 Mini-1 design, the IF461 SMB combines high performance with energy efficiency. Interfaces for fans and sensors for example, for brightness or temperature,  enable dynamic adjustment to environmental conditions. Configuration is simple via USB-C, while communication interfaces such as UART, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth Low Energy ensure maximum flexibility. A cloud connection is in preparation.

The IF461 SMB Wizard offers developers an intuitive interface for centralized firmware and system configuration management. Updates, parameter adjustments, and complete configurations can be implemented quickly, while the Remote OSD Tool for PC and Android provides additional options for control and diagnostics.

The IF461 SMB is designed for developers and system integrators who want to simplify, automate, and future-proof their systems – ideal for industrial control, digital signage, or IoT applications. The board can also be customized to meet specific project requirements.
