The MAX9597 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled and tested PCB used to evaluate the MAX9597 single SCART interface. It routes audio, video, and control signals between a set-top box decoder chip and the TV SCART connector. The on-board microcontroller, which is connected to the PC through the universal serial bus (USB) port, acts as the I²C master.
The EV kit also includes Windows® 2000/XP/Vista®-compatible software that provides a simple user interface for exercising the features of the MAX9597. The program is menu driven and offers a graphical user interface (GUI) complete with control buttons. The EV kit comes with the MAX9597CTI+ installed.
