(available in Germany, Austria, Nordic Countries and Italy)VSYSTEMS presents an AdvancedMC™ (AMC) dual display video/graphics adaptor from Concurrent Technologies. The AM 400/x01 is a high-quality, low-power embedded graphics AMC module supporting a variety of Digital Flat Panel (DFP), CRT or S-Video devices in single or dual display configurations. In addition, an onboard 2.5” SATA hard disk drive (HDD) can be added – all fitting within a single-width full-size AMC slot. A mid-size front panel option is available without the S-Video interface. The graphic controller’s rich feature set includes a complete 3D rendering suite, hardware support for MPEG/DVD playback, a 2D drawing engine that supports bit block transfers, transparent block transfers, color expansion, and line draw. The AM 400/x01 is designed to add a graphics and, if required HDD, into a single-width full-size or mid-size AMC slot in a system, e.g. MicroTCA®, where functionality, power, space and cost are key elements. Applications include telecommunications, defense, aerospace and medical markets. A variant operating at -25°C to +70°C is also available for harsher environments.
Depending on the operating system, the AM 400/x01 supports a wide range of single or dual display resolutions and refresh rates for standard and wide-screen formats. The adaptor supports a range of DFP resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz, a range of CRT resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ up to 85Hz and S-Video (PAL or NTSC, YC video). The DFP and CRT outputs are sourced via a DVI-I connector and the S-Video output is sourced via an industry standard S-Video connector.
The AM 400/x01 AMC adaptor utilizes the Silicon Motion SM722 3D/2D dual display controller. The SM722, with 8MB of high-performance on-chip SGRAM, provides good 2D/3D video graphics performance with low power consumption (less than 2W). The SM722 system I/O interface connects via a PCI to PCI-Express™ bridge to the AMC.1 Type 1 (port 4) connection on the AM 400/x01’s AMC fat pipe interface.
The optional onboard 2.5” Serial ATA HDD connects directly to the AMC.3 Type S2 (port 2) connection in the AM 400/x01’s common options region. This interface supports transfer rates up to 150Mbytes/s.
The AM 400/x01 is designed in compliance to AMC.0 (including full hot swap and IPMI capabilities) and can operate with an appropriate single board computer AMC module like Concurrent Technologies’ PR AMC/33x processor module.
Operating systems supported by these AMC boards include Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, Linux® and QNX®.
