Kontron CP308-MEDIA: One of the first embedded boards with DisplayPort
The new Kontron CP308 3U CompactPCI multicore board with the CP308-MEDIA extension card is one of the first embedded products to feature the new HD digital display interface standard DisplayPort. With S/P-DIF-Out audio and the stereo audio ports for Line In, Line Out and Microphone, the processor board with the innovative Kontron CP308-MEDIA adds extensive multimedia capabilities to embedded computing.
The Kontron CP308 features the high performance 45nm Intel Core 2 Duo processor
up to 2.26 GHz, the most powerful embedded Intel GS45 Graphics and Memory
Controller Hub, up to 8 GByte of energy efficient DDR3 RAM, and the Intel I/O
Controller Hub ICH9M. With its excellent computing and multimedia performance,
it is the perfect solution for applications such as: digital signage, passenger
information and entertainment, process and quality control, surveillance and
security in the transportation, aerospace, military and industrial automation
markets.
Kontron CP308-MEDIA capabilities
The Kontron CP308-MEDIA features two DisplayPort interfaces on the front for
direct-drive, end-to-end communication between the board and different panels.
Compared to DVI or LVDS DisplayPort reduces cabling, connector footprint and
minimizes the need for additional monitor electronics for panel control.
Furthermore, the latching DisplayPort connector guarantees outmost mechanical
stability. With conventional adapters, DisplayPort also connects to HDMI, DVI or
VGA monitors. The optical S/P-DIF-Out transmits digital Intel HD Audio. Analog
audio signals are transmitted via the stereo audio ports for Line In, Line Out
and Microphone. Onboard the Kontron CP308-MEDIA features connectors for COM,
SATA, a SD/SDHC socket, a CompactFlash socket and a Mini PCI Express socket.
Extending the Kontron CP308-MEDIA via an additional Mini PCI Express device like
WLAN, GPRS, Network or SSD, the CPU board offers maximum flexibility.
The Kontron CP308-MEDIA runs with Linux, Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or XP
embedded – the upcoming Windows 7 will also be supported. Highly integrated
board support packages support all onboard hardware devices. Samples of the
Kontron CP308-MEDIA extension module are available now. Full production is
scheduled for Q4, 2009.
