At the Embedded Systems Conference this week VIA will show a new in-vehicle platform, the new VIA IVP-7500 board, for next-generation car PCs. VIA is listening to the demands of car owners for sophisticated audio and video entertainment along with GPS and other cool options like consumer and commercial uses of in-car mounted cameras.
Watch for our updates from the Embedded Systems Conference later this week.
VIA also announced the first expansion HD module for the EPIA -P710, VIA P710-HD, which features the powerful 4300E embedded graphics processor from S3 Graphics. This first Pico-I/O module for stackable Pico-ITXe boards provides Hi-Def video playback and advanced graphics in an extremely low power compact form factor.
And for POS, kiosk, and ATM-type equipment that is always on, VIA is showing the power efficient EITX-3000 Em-ITX board at the Embedded Systems Conference. This board runs multiple diplays and can stand temperatures from -10 to 70 degrees Celsius.
Ever wonder what’s inside the countless cool (and cool-running) embedded devices that you find in home servers, robots, digital signage, entertainment devices and everything from elevators to factory automation? At Lunch@Piero’s during CES, Nathan Pham of the pioneering division of VIA that brought you Mini-ITX, Nano-ITX and even Pico-ITX boards and the popular ARTiGO series of builder kits gave reporters a look at the latest innovations based on the VIA embedded platform. VIA Embedded also showed the new ARTiGO A2000 barebone storage system and an innovative home server set-up using the touch-screen VIPRO demonstrating how the digital lifestyle is coming to a home near you. http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/embedded
