AAEON Releases EPC-CV1, a Cost-Effective Ultra-Slim EPIC Board Intel® Atom™ N2600, Bottom Mounted CPU, GPU and Chipset for Efficient Heat Dispersion

AAEON, a major developer of industrial computing solutions, today expands its line of ultra-slim EPIC form factor boards with the release of the EPC-CV1.  At only 20.84mm thick (26mm with our reference heat sink), this compact SBC helps to maximize spatial efficiency in embedded systems. The EPC-CV1 features an Intel® Atom™ N2600 / N2800 CPU with onboard NM10 chipset for systems where value and performance are high priority. The 13.8W (N2600 version) power consumption utilized with this configuration offers energy and cost savings for an environment-conscious business.

The EPC-CV1 is unique as an Intel® Atom™ SBC in that it features an AMD HD7410M chipset for video support, including 512MB of dedicated video memory. Therefore, HDMI is supported along with VGA and 24-bit Dual Channel LVDS. The marriage of Atom processing and AMD media performance makes for a versatile SBC in a low power package.

In addition to its 8-bit digital I/O interface and two Mini PCI Express slots, the EPC-CV1 features a SIM card interface and four COM ports (RS-232 x 3, RS-232/422/485 which support 5V/12V).  System integrators can access an array of peripheral devices via the six USB 2.0 ports with some conveniently placed on the rear I/O.  Ample storage options are also available by utilizing its SATA 3.0Gb/s ports, which provide an economical solution to obtaining fast data transfer speeds, data integrity and bandwidth, while maximizing future expandability.

“With its VGA, HDMI and LVDS interfaces supporting Open GL and up to 1080P resolution, and the many options for I/O, this board is designed for POS, POI, POC (point of care) and digital signage systems where Full HD or dual screen displays are used,” says Chelsea Lee, Product Manager of AAEON’s Industrial PC Division.

This low power, high performance board offers a full spectrum of connectivity options including two Gigabit Ethernet ports and optional 3G network communication via the SIM card interface. Rounding out these expansive features is a range of security and durability assurance tools like the programmable system status monitoring, WOL/PXE, voltage and fan monitoring.

The EPC-CV1 supports most common operating systems such as Windows® XP, Windows® 7 and Linux Fedora, Ubuntu. For more product and service information, please contact one of AAEON’s regional sales representatives or visit www.aaeon.com.

AAEON News - April 2013 - AAEON Releases the EMB-H61B Mini-ITX Embedded Motherboard with Intel® 2nd/ 3rd Generation Core™ Processor, Dual HDMI and Onboard TPM Security

AAEON, a leading industrial computing manufacturer, today announced the EMB-H61B Mini-ITX board based on the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor:  The high performance EMB-H61B supports 65W TDP, using the Intel® H61 Express Chipset for highly reliable embedded systems.

“As it supports two Full HD displays via Dual HDMI, the EMB-H61B is ideally suited for indoor recreation facilities, digital signage, Interactive POS/ KIOSK applications and more,” said Chelsea Lee, Senior Product Manager of AAEON’s Industrial Systems Division. “Moreover, the onboard TPM security module offers data protection for automation and other applications as well,” added Chelsea. 

The EMB-H61B’s compatibility with 2nd generation to 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors offers system integrators optimum flexibility.  When this board is combined with an onboard Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor and the Intel® H61 chipset, it offers support for up to 16GB of DDR3 memory available through the SO-DIMM slots, making it a powerful contender in the Mini-ITX arena. In addition to its industry leading processor, the EMB-H61B offers six COM ports (one RS-232/422/485 connector and five RS-232 pin headers), eight USB2.0 ports and an eight-bit Digital I/O interface. With the optional Cfast slot and standard SATA connectors, storage requirements are easily met.  The EMB-H61B features two onboard Gigabit Ethernet ports to provide faster network connectivity and communication as well as a full-sized Mini Card slot with a SIM card slot for 3G network access.  Users can expand the functionality with add-on modules or utilize the PCI-Express Mini Card to easily achieve greater functionality from this small yet powerful board.  Combined with its 12VDC input power support, this Mini-ITX form factor board is certain to prove to be of  great value over the long term.  

The EMB-H61B supports all common operating systems such as Windows® XP, Windows® 7 and Linux Fedora.  For more product and service information, please contact one of AAEON’s regional sales representatives or visit www.aaeon.com.
