The
VIA EPIA PX embedded board is the first commercial embedded board based on
VIA's
Pico-ITX form factor measuring just 10cm x 7.2cm. Designed to enable x86 to be built into embedded systems where it was previously impractical for space reasons, the
VIA EPIA PX provides a full complement of multimedia and connectivity options on a platform smaller than any standard mainboard or x86 system on
module.
Powered by the 1GHz VIA C7® or a fanless 500MHz VIA Eden™ ULV processor and supporting up to 1GB of DDR2 533 SO-DIMM system memory, the 10-layer VIA EPIA PX mainboard is based on the single-chip VIA VX700 system media processor, which boasts the VIA UniChrome™ Pro II IGP 3D/2D graphics core, MPEG-2/-4 and WMV9 hardware decoding acceleration and display flexibility. The onboard VIA VT1708A HD audio codec also contributes a rich entertainment experience.
This highly power efficient board runs standard productivity and multimedia applications at under 13 watts, thanks to the combination of VIA's energy efficient processor and core logic platform and the significantly lower power DDR2 system memory.
The VIA EPIA PX Pico-ITX embedded board also supports flexible hard drive storage options, with one SATA and one UltraDMA 133 connector, as well as 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet through the RJ-45 LAN port, an LVDS/DVI connector and extensive connectivity options including USB2.0, COM and PS2. A multimedia connector supports external TV-out, video capture port interface & LPC interface (an add-on card is required), while an audio connector supports line-out, line-in, mic-in, S/PDIF in & 7.1 channel audio output.
